Power Cut

[Aod]

i've had uninterrupted power for a good 4 months here in North London (although last time the powercut lasted a whole day!)

Hmm never had any outage yesterday, but on Monday there was a blackout affecting a pretty large area around here, and there was another blackout either saturday or sunday early in the morning but I can't remember.

I guess there is no more power, we are doomed

At about 11.30 teesside all the house alarms were going off as I drove past....said on the radio an hour later two power stations went offline within minutes of each other...that was all they said apart from some area still having problems.

Clearly this is prerequisite for an alien invasion. I think we should all invest in new solenoids for our cars, just in case.

Everything went off in Sainsburys when I was in work at about 1pm. Nowhere else seemed to be affected though which was strange.

How can they get away without explaining the cause? They going to play the terrorism threat card as it may expose a weak point in the grid?

I guess they didn't want to announce there was a problem with a nuclear power station until they knew exactly what it was so as not to freak everyone out.

Don't think I have EVER had a power cut here

Quick! To The Internet!

If there had been a power cut here in Swindon then that's exactly what I would've done.... oh, hang on a sec.

You should try living in the south of France, they happen incredibly frequently during the summer. As soon as there's a forest fire somewhere they cut the electricity so that the Canadairs can drop water safely.

Thousands of people in South London were without electricity as the power shut some businesses. The cut lasted less than an hour but it affected stations, such as Clapham Junction, and caused road problems as traffic lights went out. North of London, Watford was also hit.

When I got home from work there were clocks flashing showing the power was cut at 1pm-ish

Unplanned shutdown of Sizewell B, which just shows how much the government needs to pull their fingers out and get on with building new nuclear stations for additional capacity needs...

We was hit by a power cut last weekish. Was without the power for around 6 hours! Grr.. I was so bored it was unreal.

I know my work suffered a power cut...! Mabye between 4-6pm yesterday?

I was out on my .com run, and when back just before 7pm the place was empty and front shutter closed down, asked a woman from the bank and she said there was a power cut! Seemed quite a bad ones... checkouts totally off line! Tried serving for 30mins, then gave up and closed the shop!

This was Silverburn Tesco, Pollock, Glasgow.
