Everything in our house keeps flickering... hope it doesn't go off completely... so far so good (touch wood).

Had a couple of flickers, resulting in my computer having to restart. Bummer.

We had power off for about an hour and a half. Always seems to go off around the time we need to eat and when the heating's about to kick back in...sodding typical! Thank god for battery powered LED Xmas decs..

Spent the evening drinking at a friends at ST17 end, power was off for the first hour or two of being there. Saying that, it was quite different drinking with mates by candle-light and not having music blaring out for a change.
On a different note, walking home 3 miles has given me flaming ear ache. DAMN it's cold outside!!

Asda's lights and power went off yesterday about 7-7:30ish whilst we were in there. The backup generator kicked in after a few seconds. The power was out long enough for Vault boy to yell "disco!!!" rather loudly.

I'm thinking of adopting that as my default response to a blackout as well - do you think he would mind?

Outage for about 2 hours Saturday evening, cooking by candle light and eating by firelight with no Saturday crap TV. So not all bad.
