I keep seeing people in Octopus Energy jackets around Plymouth, they look to be doing the standard sell to passers by thing. What on earth can they be offering? I'd ask them, but I keep seeing them when I'm in the car driving by.
Wait.... what..... some of you are prepping for power cuts now?
Will your internet connection and phone line still be on during a power cut?Yup, mainly to keep my homeworking IT equipment running, because my employer will not be sympathetic to power cuts.
I'd otherwise not be bothered really.

Even if I could power my computer I wouldn't be able to do much work if everything else has lost power.
Seems like overkill. There isn't going to be an expectation from employers that staff all have backup generators!

Was just a scare story in the papers about what could happen if Russia cuts off gas supplies to Europe causing prices to soar.Is this possibility of a power cuts legitimate?

Im with tem too and get same message, those us not fixed and in for one hell of a shock, dreading it, it be back to working 7 days a week just to stay out of houseProbably ripoff fixed tariffs. Probably easy to sell if you can convince them prices are going to go sky high. Also probably have high commission on those tariffs.
I bet they aren't saying this face to face when things are untraceable.

power cuts??gas shortage possible, powers cuts wont happen, theres already a plan in place for shortages for many many countries, maybe the big power using companies may have to trim it back a little, but power cuts for householders is a little dramatic, boarder line brexit type scaremongering
