Weird energy surge?

[Penguin68]

At about 17.25 this evening a local alarm started, my TV switched itself on and my computer crashed. Everything else in the house works fine. Did anyone else notice strange energy issues around then? Everything seems fine now.

Must've happened in the future. It's only six o'clock.

You're right, I mis typed. 17:25: I'll correct above.

Radio went off in Underhill, noticed subsequently when back onto standby rather than on. Everything fine now.

it happens, no domestic circuits burned out, or planes fell out of the sky.

I could do with an energy surge, weird or otherwise

Had a weird one last night around 10.45pm near the Horniman Museum..

Lights and everything suddenly went off.. As did several of our neighbours,lasted about 5 mins then came on and flickered..then off for say 2 mins then on..for 5 minst hen on off on off then thankfully  eventually stayed on (whole duration about 10-15 mins for all this) at which point aall our neighbours in the houses opposite had a power cut.

I think same thing happend in the night as around 2.30am I was awoken by a beep beep beep which was our alarm going from its standby battery to mains again.

I'm guessing, with problems in Underhill and Horniman that it was an issue with the transformer/ sub station in Langton Rise.
