How Did The Government Send A Text To Everyone?

[cassa333]

We have all just received a text from the government to stay indoors.

How did they get all our numbers???

//as long as you have had you shots, retro....... //

Yep. I could be going out with a bang. :-(

[brainiac]

Aw, I didn't get one. Oh wait, I have no mobile phone....

[Ringlet]

I didn't get one.

[jno]

me neither, brainiac but if you like I can copy it out with my quill pen and send it to you by pigeon.

[emmie]

i didn't get one either....

[Theland]

I got three. GP, LHA, And HMG.
All different advice.

[emmie]

at least you got some theland....

[iluvmargie]

I haven't had one, is it sent just to certain age groups?

[Buenchico]

>>> is it sent just to certain age groups?

No. It should have gone out to every mobile number in the country. Here's a screenshot of the message:

We have to go to the surgery tomorrow - so we'll find out if we should/shouldn't be there. Keep telling organisations not to use mobile numbers. :(

"Stay at home" being shorthand for all the advice available at the link

[jourdain2]

Ichkeria - we wouldn't be going if Mr.J2 didn't need a complex, pressure-bandage dressing changing. They've told us to come before the other appointments (all of which are priority) so we shouldn't meet anyone except the nurse.

I'm with Brainiac on this one. I do not have a mobile phone either.
