when i lived near aldi in accy we were plagued with powercuts infact iv still got candles from when i lived there that i stockpiled lol. Anyway to get to the point one of the times it went off for almost 2 days i got talking to the engineer and he said that a lot of substations around england not just hyndburn simply cant cope with the demand of power required these days but teh electric companies tend to patch up and botch things until replacement or upgrade is the only option left

every electircal device of value such as tv and computer is plugged into a surge protector because when teh power goes off and comes back on theres a good chance your tv will get blown if its plugged in and teh switch put to on as it was before the powercut.I learned that at the expense of a £800 tv which luckily the insurance sorted because the electric company wasnt for fixing it
