Power cut in Ossy
 

From 9 O'clock tonight until just now, I've been sitting here in the dark, couldn't watch telly, couldn't use the computer, couldn't even have a shower. I've been reading my book by a tea light! Damn power cut.

Makes you think what it must have been like before electricity.....awful.:(

It's just come back on now. Does anyone else in Ossy ( Garinda, Panther, Gayle) know what happened to make it go off? :confused:

I heard about this from My uncle. I came on here to see what might have happened.

My son said it was lightening earlier, I thought it could have been something to do with that, but maybe not.

mine went off from 830 ish - came back on about 10 mins ago - must have been a big one - usually if my electric goes off my mums doesnt but hers has aswell tonight so i should imagine a few parts of the grid have been affected
by what i dont know

Very odd!! Nothing happened to mine. Which is a good job, as I was half way through kicking my uncles arse on XboX live - golf Tiger woods :D

Power went for about two seconds down here as well, it upset a lot of burglar alarms otherwise did a reboot, I used the time to make a brew.

Just thought it's Wednesday, that's the day rindy usually does his hair, Super deluxe Hair dryer on extra blow and his curling tongs plugged into the same socket, no wonder Ossy went dark.

I wondered why the floodlights dimmed at half time. I thought Eric was playing with the meter box!

On way home from Stanley I noticed power was off from Dill Hall lights (lights not working either) all the way to Henry St lights, all church was off, coming up Union Rd was OK till about the palladium then they were off from there up to the Ossy town hall area, top end of Ossy was Ok

Re: Power cut in Ossy
 

Chris phoned United Utilities about half an hour ago to find out when the power would be back on and they said, probably about half six in the morning, then it came on about 10 minutes later.

Apparently it's in pockets all around Accy and Ossy - so not just over here.

Re: Power cut in Ossy
 

Oh so there is still chance mine will go off?? I thought I had been lucky.

Re: Power cut in Ossy
 

No probably won't go off now but some people around accy might have to wait a while before they're back on.

Re: Power cut in Ossy
 

I'm between the Palladium and Town Hall and my electricity didn't go off.
