I found out about Inspector Sands for the first time the other week when I was in Rome. It seemed that a variation on it used by staff in our hotel was "Mr Constantino", an all-purpose warning to other staff members regarding drunk, angry or obnoxious guests. After we'd heard this a few times, I was informed that if I should ever find myself in a tube station and hear the presence of "Inspector Sands" requested, I should leave the station quickly...

Don't know about Ikea, but in John Lewis this is true (I used to work there). I think if there's a message like "the time has been reset to..." means all clear. “Apparently if you’re ever in Ikea or John Lewis and they give a timecheck over the loudspeaker, that means that there is a bomb threat!”
