EDF automated phone response states se22 has known problem today.

We just phoned Scottish Power and they said it's every 3rd house. Just as I was putting the chicken in the oven. Bloody freezing

[Ben Reeve-Lewis]

And we're back. Roast dinner ruined but at least we that skating programme on

whereabouts in East Dulwich was this ?

[Ben Reeve-Lewis]

We're underhill Rd just up from CPTs near the corner of Landells, but both our neighbours were fine

[fuzzyboots]

We've no power in our house in Darrell Road - although nearly every other neighbour seemed to be unaffected - which was more than galling! Was told it was a problem at the local substation and one of the major fuses had blown twice, which could indicate a problem with underground cabling. The lady I spoke to thought this might mean road excavation, etc.. I am on a mailing list to receive a text with news of progress. No texts received yet :(

I have therefore decamped with kids to my girlfriend's house in Upper Norwood, where I'm currently luxuriating in electricity.

Hope it's sorted soon for folks who don't have this option - our gas heating doesn't work without electricity. Madness!

Oh dear ,sympathies .

Wonder if something to do with heavy rain ? Leak ?

[Ben Reeve-Lewis]

Yeah we are on that text-mailing list too FB and havent had a peep yet but we've been back on for a bit now. I didnt think the rain was that heavy though. We had the same thing a year ago when we were living in Barry Rd and the guys digging a hole near Barry's Stores cut through a cable.

Maybe its an annual event, something to set your clock by......as long as it isnt digital

[Ben Reeve-Lewis]

I just got the text saying engineers are on the way, even though we have had our power back for over 24 hours. Nice to be kept in the loop though.....bless!

[Ben Reeve-Lewis]

Sorry, forgot the day, make that 48 hours

So Is the Power Back? Or is the Title Misleading?
