nunhead_man Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Was anyone else the victim of a power cut @ 5hrs today?Looks like it was about 10 minutes - enough to set off a neighbour's burglar alarm which cannot have a proper back-up battery :-( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21338-power-cut-5hrs-today/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kford Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Yes, off LL. Clocks messed up. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21338-power-cut-5hrs-today/#findComment-512867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunhead_man Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Indeed. Anyone any ideas about the electricity network in this area as seems to be quite widespread?

ryedalema Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Yep - gave us the opportunity to re sync our dodgy auto-updating clocks :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21338-power-cut-5hrs-today/#findComment-512878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyman Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Oh, that must be why cooker clock was on zero this morning. Near Townley. Sounds quite widespread.

MB Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Ah - that could explain why all my touch sensitive lights came on sometime during the night. Odd effect though..

Twirly Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I figured there must've been one, but it was probably very brief for us (we're in Oakhurst). The microwave clock showed zero and the stereo was flashing this morning as it does when the power's been off, but it must've been very brief, as the cooker clock was still showing the right time, and that normally resets to 0:00 if the power is off for anything more than a few seconds.

craigy Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 we are just off oakhurst too and it must have been fletting as clock radio on one side of bed was flashing having been cut off yet the one on the other side of the bed was still showing time having not been cut off- bizarre!

Strawbs Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I was up feeding my son when it happened and am on oakhurst, it was literally a non second but my sky tv hasn't worked properly since.. I seem to have lost sky plus.. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21338-power-cut-5hrs-today/#findComment-513037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Also on Ulverscroft Road, my clock radio was flashing this morning.The other one was OK but I think it has a built-in battery to protect against power cuts, so Craigy maybe that is why one of yours was OK.

cmacnew Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Ah that explains why the baby monitor turned itself off in the night! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21338-power-cut-5hrs-today/#findComment-513185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_the_chin Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I was woken in Landells Road at 5am by what sounded like an air-raid siren, a loud electrical buzzing sound outside that lasted about 20 seconds, I looked out and saw the street lights had gone out and we'd had a brief power cut. It was a bit weird. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/21338-power-cut-5hrs-today/#findComment-513277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Dulwit Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Sorry, that may have been me (or any number of people nearby who have just found out their alarm battery is failing). I'm trying to find one of the correct size.If you are in Nunhead (as the name suggests) it probably wasn't, unless I have a super loud alarm. although it took me less than 10 seconds to fly out of bed and enter the reset code to silence it.
