Wonderful evening of a flooded garage and then the power knocks out. Alarm going mental running on batteries. 3 holes dug and power still not on .

never knew they could run a whole house on a generator

anyone got a bitcoin miner i can use whilst we have free leccy ????

ah well at least it brought some excitement to my mundane daily schedule

So you are blaming National Grid for the fact electricity and water don't mix? Do you want me to give you Tesla's number to complain properly? Or you can tweet him directly here

The flood is unrelated to the road being cut off .

Had power cut 3 times in 3 weeks.

I blame the EU. When are the Chinese going to build those nuclear power stations!

Soon it'll be candles and stories of folklore by the fireplace. 1716 here we come.

We had a six by five foot hole dug in our drive a few years ago because a joint in the aluminium cable failed and exploded

According to the neighbour the guy that buried it in the early 90's had a JCB and wanted to make sure it didn't get hit with a fork

The chap that had to find the cable only had a spade and it was pissing down. I almost felt sorry for him. To make matters worse we have an under ground stream near the site. He could't figure out why he had a swimming pool almost as fast as he dug it out. I didn't want to tell him he looked fed up enough already.
