Me too. Looked at it, didn’t understand it, decided it probbly wasn’t important.

That’s probably not the reaction they wanted.
 
Surely in a country that’s not fully bilingual you would have the English version first.
 
I have had a total of 12 alerts...

Shopping in Aldi and the first 6 came in in quick succession.

I have deaf bugger settings in my phone, so each alert started by buzzing loudly, followed by a kind of klaxon noise. Then the written message appeared, followed by a loud voice message.

A bit overkill, even for a deaf git...
 
Mercifully my trusty old Nokia isn't troubled by such pathetic nanny state scare tactics and the government don't have a direct line to me. people always tell me I'm missing out by having such old tech, well this is one unwanted intrusion that I'm very pleased I missed out on.

Though my brother was woken from his afternoon siesta (works for the council), and was not best pleased. Woke the cat too.
