Unless you announce a bunch of personal details on here there’s not much to be gleaned.
But if you use this and other platforms it’s very easy to start building a picture.
Anyhow off topic…
Come on don’t let facts get in the way on someone’s conspiracy theory. Why are people so scared they’re happy to handover all their info to Facebook etc who has shown that they have no respect for your privacy.

Anyone who spends any time at all putting together a detailed dossier on me from information on this and other forums which includes my opinions on vinyl v. CD, Brahms, woodworking, the various remasters of classic 80s albums, loudspeaker design, government IT systems and the fact that I live in Wiltshire needs to ask themselves some very serious questions, not the least of which is ‘why?’.

What with the “90” seconds away from doomsday. This public alert will be hopefully helpful to allow me enough time to get back with my loved ones before the end of the world as we know it.
And fire up the hifi for that one last blast. Well, penultimate blast, anyway.

Information is the new currency of course
These alerts are meant to alert you of danger to life. So when you get one and your heart rate is soaring, it’s going to take some willpower to to comply with the instructions below. 
If you’re driving or riding when you get an alert
- You should not read or otherwise respond to an emergency alert whilst driving or riding a motorcycle.
- If you are driving, you should continue to drive and not respond to the noise or attempt to pick up the mobile phone and deal with the message.
- Find somewhere safe and legal to stop before reading the message. If there is nowhere safe or legal to stop close by, and nobody else is in the vehicle to read the alert, tune into live radio and wait for bulletins until you can find somewhere safe and legal to stop.
Sounds much like:
“In case of sonic attack on your district, follow these rules
If you are making love it is imperative
To bring all bodies to orgasm simultaneously
Do not waste time blocking your ears
Do not waste time seeking a sound proofed shelter
Try to get as far away from the sonic source as possible
Do not panic, do not panic, do not panic
Do not panic, do not panic, do not panic………………”

Agreed, my mate rarely used his debit card as he doesn’t want people ‘snooping on him’.
My response is “…all they’re going to find out is that you play snooker twice a week, socialise in PUBNAMEHERE and that you visit the bookies at the weekend”.

Indeed - and, just like currencies, some is considerably valuable and some is completely worthless!

Hadn’t seen that before very funny. Even paused the cricket to watch it.

I’d certainly advocate regular public information films being reintroduced - on all channels at the same time, especially during soaps!
