Rude awakening

(1/3) > >>

ACE:
Just waking up with my first coffee this morning, heard a sound that I have not heard for well over seventy years. An air raid siren being sounded at Portsmouth naval base. No warning given and it took a few second to realise it was more a slug of gin needed, not coffee. Thankfully just testing, but not after half the island ran for cover. Years ago a neighbour had a parrot that would start wailing like a siren every time it heard an aircraft flying over. It would do the full wind up to full volume  and then the run down to the final croaking notes.

Clean trousers all round?

Not an early morning call you need!

Scary in the circumstances.

Watching the news I've been wondering if there are air raid sirens in our country?
