I know you all hate the emergency alert about disposable barbeques. But yesterday I watched a man at our hotel breakfast set fire to a toaster by trying to toast a croissant - despite multiple signs telling him not to. Today he tried again. So, you know, calibrate for the average person.

Did it taste ok though once you'd put it out? 🤣 Seriously though, there is no defending this misuse of the emergency alert system

I'm 50:50 on whether it is sensible. Most people don't read newspapers or watch the news - so how else do you get out a message like that? With the fire service at breaking point, I can see why they thought it was a good idea. And, yes, with a little jam it was fine

As my Welsh friend just messaged me "Nuclear" in Welsh is "Niwclear" (he thinks).
