RickM Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Just had a mini power cut in Deepcar, initially assumed it was the winds from "Storm Debi" but we seem to get so many damn mini power cuts I'm not so sure. I swear theres a major fault somewhere around Deepcar / Stocksbridge thats being ignored, I've only been here a year and have had more powercuts here than the last 6 years elsewhere in Sheffield. Its practically once a fortnight now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read, we're at the point where powercuts are going to become a way of life if we're not careful, like some despotic little third world country...

Irene Swaine Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Storms are just a part of nature. Remember the one in 1987 when Michael Fish got the forecast wrong and everyone blamed him? Batten down the hatches, pour yourself a large whiskey and all will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
