It was wasn't it.

All the street lights were out here and because we only have Foxhill Bank infront, there was no glow from anywhere.

After i'd rescued Harry from the middle of the room I nearly knocked myself out looking for my mobile to get the camera flash out!

The lights were on from Rhyddings Street upwards on Union Road. I don't know if there was something on at the Town Hall but there were loads of people stood outside when I was going up to my Dads. That must have been scary half way through a show and the lights go off, and you have to get down all them stairs!
LMAO, sorry I thought that was funny...... was it because he lives on Bright street that he didn't have a power cut, I wonder



Sorry, I'll get my coat
