"Just a spot of birding at our local park and this happened. I've got to stop dressing in green and thinking be still like a tree. I feel like a Disney princess (albeit years after filming when they have become old and crazy and someone no longer does their hair and makeup). I tried to scrape it off with one finger and it climbed onto that finger - it was like mobile chuddy or a sticking plaster, and I strongly resisted the urge to flick my hand. I managed to coax him onto an actual tree branch. His Mum turned up and growled. Called him an idiot.

An alert will be broadcast to all capable phones.
The test will show you what an Emergency Mobile Alert looks like on your phone. It’s one of the many tools that may be used to communicate with you during an emergency such as a flood, earthquake, or tsunami.
If you get an alert, stop, read the message, and take it seriously. It will tell you what the emergency is, what to do, and where to go to for more information. If you feel your life is in danger, don't wait for an official warning – take immediate action.

A four-day work week means employees are paid for 40 hours but only work 32 of those. Should this be rolled out across the country where possible?
