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?

Re: Power cut in Ossy
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. |

Re: Power cut in Ossy
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.

Re: Power cut in Ossy
I wondered why the floodlights dimmed at half time. I thought Eric was playing with the meter box!

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. |

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