Welcome to the Dark Ages!

Memories of Wales come flooding back as we sit here at 12.30 in the am, sans power (remembering of course that modern DeCT phones need power to work, don’t they Mr Fink)

So the story goes that if you are the only house affected by a power outage you need to wait for a power engineer to hammer on your door anytime between now and whenever, but if anyone else calls up then they will send the engineer to the substation to see what the fault is. So why does the engineer need to come to your house at silly o’clock, simple us lowly non electrical folk don’t know how to check their circuit breakers of course!

Well they would send an engineer if they actually had a record of you or your house, despite paying our bills the electricity company have never informed the national grid who or where we are. Oh joy, nice to know you don’t exist, shame we can’t get the free electricity to go with the imaginary house!

Well at least we got power back at 4am, might as well stay up then.
