I have not heard of there being power cuts and hope they don't happen. I remember them at the same time as the three day weeks, which were bad enough. I also remember the winters of years ago. Trudging through deep snow to get to work ECT. The last few winters have been fairly mild they say because of global warming. I hope this one is as mild as the last.

TheAlien said:Its not just technology that a power cut now would impact, in the 70s most people had a coal fire, some with a back boiler for hot water very few houses had central heating, and we didn't rely on freezers as much for storing food either.
I'll be keeping my mobile tech fully charged just in case. If we do have power cuts I'll be left with no heating, not hot water and no means of cooking. Plus I live in a cold damp council flat.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
@woodbine, we were in a council house, we didn't even have a car let alone a garage. It took us until 1982 to get a house with central heating.
