Oh, lol I turned them off. We aren't exactly in a country at risk of any emergency

It has been used to evacuate Plymouth for disposal of a WW2 bomb and for storm warnings with imminent threat to life in Wales, the SW, NI and Scotland.

Then why turn it off if you'll never really get them? I know emergencies rarely happen, but wouldn't you want it enabled if they do?

They have been used 5 times already, and all were for very good reason
