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.

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)
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.......

    • I've not engaged in this debate so far but you can't be more wrong. In the UK our own language is English, there is a small minority who can rightly claim their language is Welsh or Gaelic, and a couple Cornish. British Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Christians, atheists etc will usually speak British, even if not their first language.  The vast majority will be able to understand English.   A small percentage, less than two percent, of people living in the UK have little or no English (census data).  It is right that in certain situations eg schools there is signage and information in other languages, providing public information. It is wrong that a political party do this, particularly one who came across as opportunist on this occasion. There is an interesting conversation about British expats living, for example, on the continent, where I expect huge swathes who can hardly say a word of French, Spanish etc.

    • Surely the biggest scandal under Blair's tenure was developments funded under the Private Finance Initiatives (PFIs) where funding came from the private sector at high rates of interest. Around £44 Bn was borrowed for projects which involved costly maintenance contracts for years into the future.
