Can anyone confirm what the issue is pls... I am supposed to be away from home till Friday, but I not leaving the Mrs home alone if there is some loony on the loose....

My husband has just told me to make sure the doors are locked! (I'm in Windlesham) but didn't have time to tell me why before he got cut off??

Is anything going on? I was going to pop down to Marks but buggered if I'm going to now....... cheese on toast for dinner it is!

I hear the last time somebody escaped he got as far as Great Hollands and gave himself up because it was less rough in prison.

We live in Yateley and the children at school haven't been warned of anything....

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!! I finally heard it! I was walking up a deserted Princess Street in Camberley at 10am today, oblivious to what was coming. Shivers down my spine and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, so awesome!!

Planet Claire said:

It's doing it again - definitely the all clear signal is being given first and then the two-tone warning alarm second. Does anyone know why they've changed the order?

It was definitely correct in Camberley this morning at least!

Earlier there were reports on one of the mummies sites about a rape in a cab, then an assault, then a murder in bagshot.

Suspect most of it is sex deprived milf getting thier too tight knickers in a twist, but there may be some truth to some of it

I don't think that that was yesterday's problem, they were definitely looking for someone there and then.. the crime (whatever it was) had just been committed I guess.

The Guy who broke his ankle made it all across the common to Blackwater,(this was before the A331 & the Crowthorne - Sandhurst bypass had been built) a policemen attending a Pub was sitting in his Panda car when the guy opened the door and hopped in saying to the copper "OK take me back" the copper didn't have a clue as to who he was! The previous escape to that was when the escapee made it over to Holland and killed someone over there. As far as I know the last "Escape" was when someone managed to get up onto the roof but didn't leave the grounds.

They did always used to test it every Monday at 10am so I guess they've started doing that again.

Never stopped...

Yes every Monday 10 am and the two tone all clear about 3-5 mins later, I've never timed it.

I quite like it, a bit of consistency in an otherwise crazy world!

Do they still have a football team? All the games are played at home apparently

TX.

A couple of friends have played Cricket against the immates a few times. He said it was always worrying when you went through the gates and the guards locked the doors behind you.

I would be more worried getting one of them out while he has a cricket bat in his hands

Ah, I can hear it from my house but I'm always at work at that time. I assumed I'd be able to hear it from here too so I thought that must've stopped but I guess the sound just doesn't travel this far!

[Planet Claire]

Thread resurrection...
Anyone know why the alarm went off in Bracknell today? They stopped the alarms here a while ago now but this Monday morning it sounded loud and clear again - it was quite nice to hear, actually (even if it was the wrong way round again - my bugbear).

[CoolHands]

Is there a recording of this anywhere? I'd like to hear it...

If not next time get ya phones out!

They normally test them every Monday at10

[Planet Claire]

They do, but the one in Bracknell has been turned off for months but today it started up again. I was wondering if anyone knew why.
