Living without Electric for

1 day, 1 week , 1 month

how do you feel you would cope? I have decided that my family is going to have an electric 'free' day soon. My son who is 7 has never even had to deal with a power cut so far and I think it would be a great learning experience to go without power for a day.

Do you think you could cope with no power if so for how long?
 
Last time we had a power cut i made it about 10 minutes before i went to put the kettle on and put some bread in the toaster :(
 
My grandparents lived there first 20 years with no electricity in the village they lived in, they still have no central heating just a open fire.
 
Last time we had a power cut i lasted 15 minutes before getting my battery pack with a 240v outlet form the garage and using that for laptop and lamp lol......
 
During my last power cut I was very bored. I will admit I spend most of my 'at home' free time on my PC.

No I really think all "this" is a waste of time, but we are all sucked into it the same.
No more OCUK means I get off my ass and go and do more productive things instead of sitting here wasting my life away.
No more TV.. Great, it's mostly doom and gloom and scaremongering bull**** anyway.
 
We had a power cut the other month for over an hour. That really annoyed me for about 25 minutes and then I realised my laptop had batteries :D

Still annoying though sitting in the dark for 90 minutes.
 
I think I'd manage fine for a good while to be honest. I've got a couple of gas lamps, and access to a dozen more. Plenty of reading material, board games and a lovely wife for the early nights :p
