Where abouts are you DIRTYDAVE?

It's been a hell of a long time since we had something like that where I am in Darlo, several nearby streets didn't have power but luckily ours did!

Going off topic I've always wondered how people would react to a mass black out!

[Spyman]

No problems for me

I'm in the DL1 bracket there was no problems here.

And that what's made me wonder how people would cope with a mass black we depend on power for just about everything!

Dave, it was fine at home and work yesterday more is the pity! Both are DL1 and the power was on all day.

Did you not pay your bill?

[DIRTYDAVE]

YES haha

[Hawkeye]

We had one at work this morning at about 11:30 (or 10:30 in GMT). Doubt it's got anything to do with yours though.

[Bovver Boots]

YES haha

Once the switch has tripped you're supposed to flick it back on...

Count yourself lucky. We had no power or water for 5 days a few winters back. We usually have at least one a week, sometimes ten. Usually when they're working on the mains the workers just turn it off to suit themselves - no warning cards through the doors here. It's a real bugger sometimes.
