At aproximatly 3pm this afternoon my home town was hit by a power cut for about 45 mins, just wondering was anyone else affected either in warwickshire or further afield?

No most of my area was out even the local ASDA had its backup lighting on instead of the main lights

I reckon it's safe to assume that everyone who posted on here between 1500 and 1545 today, was unaffected by the power cut. The others were probably shagging.
Edit: doesn't anyone know where the keys are?

We sure do, but haven't you anything more interesting to concern yourself with than how many people had to endure a power cut? rolleyes

I find the power usage of fellow users fascinating, in fact I think we should have a new stickie where users can inform other users when their power was out or not.... We could build up a national picture of power problems throughout the country - sure to be useful for someone
But why stop with power we could also run the same service for all the following
Broadband outages
Petrol prices by area
Mobile phone problems
sure there are more
Alternatively we could all just get a life and get out more !!!!! lol

I think the uncertainty of our times is overrated on occasion... a product of media hype... A bigger problem is the people freaking out when something normal but unexpected happens.

Do you mean like when I park up for the night in a layby? :shock: :shock: :shock:
What happens a bit later is completely normal for me but might be a bit unexpected for some! redface

ops: :oops: :oops:
