Power cuts - 7/12/2016.

[age'd parent]

Just had the lecee go of for a couple of minutes here in st 16.

No problems here, although I am about to go and put up my outside Christmas lights so expect more trouble shortly.

Mine's been off for some indeterminate, but probably shortish, time whilst I've been out.

Trying to remember how to reset a couple of digital clocks at the moment - done one, but I can't see how to do the other yet...




..had to resort to Google in the end, I would never have found the secret method of adjusting the clock..

Hubbys works had a power cut just before 2.15pm on Astonfields Industrial estate. Was only off for a couple of minutes.

 

[Gramaisc]

Just had half a second off - set off a few 'burglar' alarms.....

The power in my street (ST16) was off when I came home from work but apparently a neighbour had a problem with the incoming line into their house so the power company had to pull the fuses at the substation to allow them to fix it. It was back on in an hour

Odd no evidence of the power going off yesterday in Victoria Terrace. We must be better than you lot. Better electricity.

You're a bit lower down than @age'd parent and me - electricity sinks, particularly in the dark.

Leccy gone off twice in the last hour, first thought was, it's kicked off on the Korean Peninsula and I'd missed the 3 minute warning.....

Playing Two 7s Clash at full volume can do that

Another blip in the power about 06:30.....

 

[age'd parent]

Just had a power cut, comp dead and tripped shed to off, only a
second, but glad I wasn't doing any thing important.

Mmm - nothing here, but it did Creswell, too.

 

[age'd parent]

Again, off for about a minute this time, they will be
paying for a new hard drive at this rate!

Got me, too. I'd just dug my way under the stairs when it came back.


Always more annoying in daylight, as you can't easily see if it's only you...

 

[Perrier]

yep same here , off for about a minute.

 

[Laurie61]

Off for about a minute here also. Missed the end of the touring car race at Oulton Park.

 

[The Hawk]

Yes, Creswell got hit yet again. Seems to be happening more frequently recently. Ironically, just before today's latest cut happened, I've just ordered a UPS for my router. If I only connect the router to it, then I should get roughly 7 hours of battery backup from it and, of course, it will be perfect for these microcuts.

Thought I'd done something yesterday when leccy went off after I'd been messing with redundant switches. Old timer clock in the cupboard , which hadn't worked for the last 30 years since the old warm air system was removed, suddenly started ticking earlier in the morning . So pleased to run outside to find the neighbours also had no power !

Strange the old central heating clock came alive just before the power cut.
