    Got this twice yesterday


    Presidential alert: US mobile phones get test message - BBC News

    Once was in the Haunted House and about 40 phones all went off... Causing some panic and scaring the tulip out of little kids
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

    Sounds like an eminently sensible tool assuming they can control the panic and direct it to a specific area if needed. Maybe by using the location of cellphone tower.

        This is actually an expansion of an existing service that does just that, send out alerts regionally. What they have now doe is test it at a national level.

        Despite the title it's actually nothing to do with Trump or the Whitehouse (for a change).

          We'll give you some time to come up with a plausible explanation as to why you were in a haunted house with a bunch of kids. Looks like you'll probably need it...

              I could say I was following their 'yummy mummys' but I can't really as Disneyland is full of white trash...further to that, Disneyland

              - only saw 3 British families, football shirts, tattoos, wives with humongous backsides, you guessed, they fitted right in with the locals
              - millions and absolutely millions of prams
              - I have never, ever seen so many mobility scooters
              - food is overpriced and crap
              - rides are not all that much (driving on the Interstate is more exciting), luckily I had Fastpass so no 2 hour queues otherwise I would have left
              - in the end, not really worth it...luckily I didn't have to pay
