Yes Ed, I had my son in the shops in his pushchair in a winter evening, all of a sudden they went out. We had to leave the shop. I walked into the old Chinese in Chelverton Rd, where I lived they had candles on the table so they let me sit there till the lights came on again, they gave my son some prawn crackers. Our road was pitch black I was to scared to walk down the road. Lucky I knew them the mum and dad that owned it.

I had it come up on my phone from Power Networks, other people in my road as well, it also said it had caused a power cut in about 2029 homes.

I had one on holiday that lasted serval hours.I remember them when I was a kid but these days we are far more dependent upon electricity.An elderly couple had to walk several flights of stairs. I think they were reasonably active and managed it but I began to think about people in high rises in the UK.It is shocking that successive governments have under invested in our energy infrastructure.
