Haha Christ, I'd have a heart attack.

I think it's just a general sound to mean things like snow storms and road dangers now though?

Some towns still have them for general things like snow.

Don't think anywhere in the NE has them.

Don't worry the government gave up on civil defense back in 1992. Given that there wouldn't be much of the UK that was inhabitable after the Bomb they gave up on the four minute warning for the general public at least. There didn't seem any point since most the people that survived in the cities and left their shelters two weeks later would just die of radiation sickness anyway given there would be no NHS left to cure them.

If you ever want to scare yourself about nuclear war then watch this film:
