Power Cut in Goodrich Road?

[ClareC]

Has anyone else got a power cut...... or have I forgotten to pay the (excesive) bill?

There used to be a rabbit running on a big wheel attached to a dynamo that produced power for that area. The rabbit however went nuts, attacked an old lady and was subsequently shot in Ted Max?s back yard.

Yep, no power here on Lordship Lane either...pain in the chuff if you ask me.

[ClareC]

There goes my plan of heading for the Bishop!!!

[danb71]

Not sure if it's all of LL-I'm up the top so you might be lucky.

[danb71]

Part of the road just down from where I am has been cordoned off, so god knows what's happening...

[ClareC]

Maybe worth a wander then :))

No heat, light, hot water, broadband...... it's fun working from home!!!! Definitely an office need to go to the pub I think!!!

The broadband went off.... I am using 3G now and battery power (while it lasts) - WFH :(

ooh! ooh! I know what happened because my husband had to call the fire brigade. ooh! well! what happened is that smoke was coming out of a man hole cover near Lordship Lane on Goodrich Road this afternoon then suddenly flames came out from beneath. The fire brigade arrived within minutes (thanks to a nifty call from my husband)and had to close part of LL and Goodrich Road. My parents live on Goodrich and have no power either and all they have been told is that it should be on soon and that about 150 homes have been affected.

Heber Road closed down at lunchtime because of a power cut - same thing presumably.

Still not restored. I'm on crystal palace road. The yellow shop is out, the castle is out, meaning plans to have a swift pint or 2 instead of working were scuppered by warm pints :-( might head down to LL for something more rewarding. My mother in law is arriving from paris in a couple of hours and i'm supposed to be cooking dinner tonight. Looks like a trip to franklins is on the cards... (am posting from my phone btw)

[SueJ]

My husband has just been told the power will be off for about another 6 hours

Sorry for the bad news

Power back on here on Lordship Lane...huzzah!

[Horsebox]

It's back on now.

There was a fire in the link box on Goodrich road so a few of the surrounding roads (including ours) lost power. Not sure if it's been fully restored or whether we're running on a temporary generator, either way so glad we didn't have to find the candles/torches.......

[Horsebox]

There's a temporary generator running at the top of CP Road, and a team of Virgin media techies working in the exchange box nearby. Not sure if it's related but its local news, especially exciting as it's a friday night.
