I think mine went off as we were walking along Wembley Way. I didn't even notice it until my mate's son pointed out that his had gone off.
Judging by the lack of checking phones from other fans I suspect not many others noticed either.
Pointless exercise and a bit worrying if it had been a real emergency judging by the reactions.

Seemed to be inconsistent, mine sounded off two or three minutes after Mrs T's and talking about it in the pub later it seems that some didn't sound off until about 15:15.

I think five shillings a week was what Lloyd George's old age pension originally was.

I think mine's too old a version for receiving an alert.
Going through the Cowburn Tunnel on my way home from Sheffield at 3pm yesterday was probably why I didn't hear anyone else's.

3 hours 54 minutes. He wanted to do it in 3.30, but injured his calf on Monday. He's very broken.

Just been ID'd , to make sure over 18, 
to buy a tub of bird suet balls in Tesco.
That was after none there yesterday, a trip to Wilkinsons in town today was in vain as apparently there's been a supply issue for a few weeks. Then nabbed the last one on Tescos today's delivery.
Those greedy squirrels had better slow down a bit , they're guzzling them too fast!

I'd be ecstatic at beating 4 hours, but I've never made that distance anyway!

Well done to him @Lucy. Shame he got injured just before , most maddening when that happens after all the training has been going well . He did well to get round in that time with an injury.

He was cutting the hedge on St. Georges side as I left for home - 3pm. Wonder if he'd come and attack my garden if I asked very very nicely?

Google Satellite suggests allotments.

Enjoying a drop of red.
You can always ask. Remember, the chap often carries a chain saw with him though...

I'd be ecstatic at 4 days, no sorry correction, I'd be ecstatic at even completing the course, well done Mr @Lucy.

When you walk along the canal path behind the pub you can see what looks like allotments

They are indeed allotments. Dad used to have one there, back in the day.
could see was a pile of pallets, and the tall wooden door was shut very quickly....

Went around to sons house after zumba , he's starting being my personal trainer to get me back into a more fit state with a bit of resistance work as well as my 3 zumba sessions & walking.
(Used to do weights in the gym years ago , but forgotten the correct techniques )
Was supposed to be showing me weight exercises so that I can go round when he's out at work and use his gym equipment....
Bit of a re-think as he had to grab the weights off me and pull me back up off the bench each time in hysterics
. Got visions of him getting back from work to find me still lying there stuck
So it's standing/ sitting up weights only when I'm there on my own and save the others for when he's there to haul me back to my feet!
( felt like giving up after a few minutes , but kept thinking he'd put himself out getting up early after his late shift to do it .So Walton school motto 'persevere' kicked in....at least one thing was useful from school!)
Thank god I abandoned my idea to go to the gym , would have been even more embarrassing lying there needing to shout for help to get back up!

There's a damp patch in our downstairs ceiling, and a leak on the boiler. Not spotted as it's not in a place we look often, but there's already black mould appearing.
Boiler people said they need to send an assessor out, I don't have home emergency on my insurance but wondering if its worth asking them to deal with the installers if they start to mess me about. Got a bad feeling about it!
Leak is in the cold inlet, at a solder joint. It's leaking on the side towards the wall so not visible easily, I've tied some cloth round it to get the drips to the front. I reckon maybe half a litre per hour at most, but could have been leaking since December for all we know and just took ages to become apparent and us notice.
