Having just received our EDF bill it looked quite high so I compared the prices for the same period last year with this one's.

WTF? Thought this was a wind-up when I saw it on Indy100. Turns out, not! Does this happen in any other country?

"Phone users will have to acknowledge the alert before they can use other features on their devices.
A message will appear on the home screens of people's devices during the test, with vibration and a loud warning sound that will ring for about 10 seconds, even if the phone is set to silent. "
