We had a government emergency alert yesterday regarding wild fires. We don't get emergency alerts here in the UK ( the weather's usually pretty tame, teens kill each other with knives, so active shooter warnings aren't a thing) The collective reaction has been one of intense annoyance, mainly because the noise was so unexpected, we all collectively shat ourselves in fright. Which is also such a British thing: urgh, such fuss and noise, disgraceful, can we not be warned about the imminent perils of wild fire without such drama?? My son was really frightened - he's 12, 6ft 2 and about 13 stone, and he came in to basically hide behind me (I'm 5ft4...) I got a very rare hug from him after. So maybe the fuss and drama was worth it 🥰
