I've just had the same one, I googled the details but nothing really comes up other than the fact that other people have also done the same search for those two phone numbers.

The only website a google search turned up was one about phonespamfilters and reverse charges, so I wouldn't bother ringing it.

80010 is the number you text for the competitions on MeadowhallTV so I assume they have sent the text to the wrong 'list' of people.
I got one as well.

Yep, looks like someone is trying to blow meadowhall up again. God knows why they would use txt instead of going to the stores and checking??

Surely if things had been done correctly, the text would only have gone to s certain number of people (more than likely managers and supervisors), therefore making sure that widespread panic isn't caused by unneccessary gossipping.
But I guessed they failed on that part!

Yup, it will be all round meadowhall now, especially with it being bank holiday I imagine it may be busier?
How long before the age old story of the big body bag store there, comes back to life?

A friend of mine saw a bloke with a beard drop his wallet. She chased after him to give it back, and he told her to avoid Meadowhall on 6th April!

Hmm, yup. Almost as quickly as someone points out that it was actually built to be a prison...

the only person who really knows will be the person who sent it. but the above explanations of it being meadowhall (routinely or not) asking store managers to check their stores seems reasonable.
i wouldn't lose sleep over it, unless you happen to be someone about to convert it back to the original prison design and are concerned that the man who's wallet a friend of a friend returned is about to put a big hole in the building.
