British Security Warning Level Increases

[TelephoneAngel]

Do they have a similar system in America to show the level of threats?

[Food Lady]

Yeah, something about colors. What's going on in the UK?

[ditchdj]

Yeah we got that color crap too. Over here it changes colors so much if you were to put it on TV it would be an LSD user's wet dream.

Something apparantley, but despite being in the UK, haven't got a foggiest. Probably the government just reminding us that they're there

See, us Brits use actual words

Knowing our government it's probably some dipsy has left their laptop/CD's with valuable information on them on the train.....again

I was rather enjoying the time someone lost a thumb drive full of data from their pocket in a car park. Quite a difference in approach and had novelty appeal.

Every so often I'm tempted to drop a flash drive (I have a small pile of cheapo drives that have been sacrificial lambs for virus removal, pretty much all have been rendered unreadable in some weird way) in a semipublic place and see what would happen...but knowing my luck some nosy idiot would be too helpful in identifying me.

We're waiting for the threat-level designations to get to Plaid or something equally ridiculous.

My favourite part was he came out, raised the terror level and declared a terrorist attack very likely then in the second sentence said they had no intelligence that suggested any sort of terrorist attack was on the way. -.-

Britain inexplicably raises terror alert from Blimey to Knackered

I'm guessing the British colour codes would go something like this:

Bleu = France
Green = Ireland
Orange = Northern Ireland
...

[RayvenQ]

oh so accurate

I'm guessing the British colour codes would go something like this:

Bleu = France
Green = Ireland
Orange = Northern Ireland
...

Nah, it'd be this

White = France
Blue - Scotland (Just incase, you never know with those buggers)

and the rest like you said.
