Tiny power cut

Anyone else aware of a tiny power cut, not more than a minute, last night (19th) some time after 11?  I'd just taken a torch to the fuse-box cupboard when the lights came back on.  But electric clock on cooker is flashing and demanding to be re-set.

Thank you both.  That reassures me it wasn't something weird with my electricity.  I'd say it was for about half to three quarters of minute, but all lights  went off (though not the tv because it wasn't on.).

Yes Judy, we did it went off for a split second, the TV went off completely. Lights flickered. The TV came back on had to wait for it to re-set itself.

The light in our sitting room went out momentarily sometime between 11:00 and 11:30pm. It didn't seem to affect anything else: the TV kept going, didn't notice any interruption on the broadband and none of the timers seemed to be affected. ... That was in East Putney. It seemed odd but I assumed it was a voltage drop that affected the halogen bulb but not devices where the power supply dropped the power to a low voltage ... but that was just a guess!
