    This is not a drill !!!

    .

    Shortly after 8am local time Saturday - Hawaiians were left to panic when an emergency alert system sent messages to cellphones with this tweet to its citizens:



    until apparently 38mins later, when they were given the all clear - it was just a false alarm.

    Hawaiians were sent scrambling Saturday morning after an emergency alert notification warned of a ballistic missile threat. It turned out to be an error.
    A flurry of tweets, often with screenshots of the message, appeared to pop up on cellphones shortly after 8 a.m. local time. It read, "Ballistic Missile Threat Inbound To Hawaii. Seek Immediate Shelter. This Is Not A Drill."

    I like it, those glued to their mobiles all day ask for all they get. Leave it in the drawer like I do, if someone wants me they can ring my BT number. Peace and quiet, no scrambling for air raid shelters, love it.

    I had a direct line to JC's voting booth in the referendum BT, I can assure you that as you thought, JC is sound on the EU, he voted Leave. Just like us, he knows a scam when he sees one.

    Maybe sinkov but the dark forces are manipulating the chances of another referendum. Sterling is bouncing upwards like a demented puppy so there must be a real chance of another referendum?
