that strange, is that an EU date including CH ??? here in SWITZERRLAND, I think it was tuesday last week they tested the alarms in each village.
For a moment I thought TRUMP maybe pushed the RED SWITCH and lauchned a few missiles to test them
The rest of EU doesn’t have a combined alert system (its left up to each country to set up their own system), UK only has flood sirens in some areas very near the coast.
I just happened to be watching a phone in on K-TV over the last few weeks (they have this after daily Mass from Switzerland), the Pfarrer from Gossau mentioned that it was Candlemas and the siren test on the same day (1st Wednesday in February) and told everyone watching in Switzerland not to be frightened as it was just a test (probably in case the older more religious people there thought it was the end of the world)
In England if there is a national emergency (which includes any of the Royal Family dropping dead for any reason) all the TV channels switch to the BBC in London and the Union Flag is shown with “God Save the Queen” (same tune as used in Liechtenstein but with different lyrics) played very slowly, then the newsreaders explain what has happened.

to be fair this guy wasn’t much older than ourselves and is a really chilled out dude – but the kind of people who call up his phone in show seem to be around age 80-100+, highly religious and convinced the world has been going to end since late 1960s so I can see why he might have wanted to reassure them.
Also K-TV encourages people to visit Gossau to pray in the chapel that is shown on the broadcasts, to be fair they do get folk from half the world visiting – who might not be aware that this test happens (other countries have the sirens but don’t test them all at the same time).
Sie kam als Kind wohl am Sonntag an,
denn sie hieß, seit ich denken kann,
immer nur Sunday Girl.
Sie war nie Schuld, ganz egal woran,
ihr hat nie etwas weh getan,
denn sie war Sunday Girl.
Kalt wie Eis und genau so süß,
so war sie und auch manchmal ganz schön mies.
Für sie war es ein Kinderspiel,
pech für den, dem sie gefiel.
In der Schule, da hat sie nichts getan,
denn ein Lehrer ist doch auch ein Mann,
dachte sich Sunday Girl.
Bei der Frage, was sie werden wollte,
Fernsehstar oder Rockidol,
so sah sich Sunday Girl.
Doch, wen treff? ich so vor einem Jahr,
als Bedienung in einer Bar?
Na klar, Sunday Girl.
Erst hat sie mir beinah schon leid getan,
doch dann fing sie zu flirten an,
mit meinem Mann, Sunday Girl.
Oh, kalt wie Eis und genau so süß,
auch wenn das Leben Spuren hinterließ,
sie bleibt sich treu.
Noch immer gilt,
pech für den, dem sie gefällt.
Kalt wie Eis, kalt wie Eis,
kalt wie Eis ist sie.
Ich glaub?, ich lern? das nie.
Doch sie schafft’s immer irgendwie,
ich weiß nicht wie.
Kalt wie Eis, kalt wie Eis,
kalt wie Eis ist sie.
Ich glaub?, ich lern? das nie.
Doch sie schafft’s immer irgendwie
Heard this cover version on a Drenthe pirate radio station on Friday – its is actually better than that right wing-nut Brian Ferry’s version
it is in the Gronings Achterhoeks dialect – in common with modern practice for writing Dutch dialects they have borrowed the ø from DK 🙂
