Power cut...

Anyone else have a power cut in Peckham Rye area? And news or update on how long it might be?

Strange.. I was in the bath and my lights flickered. and I thought... We are going to have a Power Cut.

Did not lose power. All OK at the moment .. Ulverscroft..

So it was you and your ultra high powered whirlpool bath that caused my power to flicker then foxy...

Next time eat more beans and use less power

Still out.. was hoping someone with a Twitter account was on the case!

Only found it when we had an annoucment in my central London office that we may have a powercut due to exceptional levels of demand. Funny as it wasn't a high demand day - no international sport, royal wedding or significant plot line in Eastenders. There was me wondering whether we were having a return to the three day week.

What I suspect is that there was a local supply problem. Which happens. Rather than a collapse of the National Grid.

There was a massive power cut along the north norfolk coast today too.

It's a conspiracy to get everyone to buy more candle so that they can embrace hygge.

Power's back!

We don't really "do" candles.. I had to make do with a pack of birthday cake candles, and a handful of tealights donated by the neighbour.

[malumbu]

Hardware shops have pleny of candles, but they may be rationed due to panic buying.

I understand you can only ask for four candles.
