[Margaret Pilkington]

We are in Clayton and we have had no disruption.......though I say this with crossed fingers.
I too, remember the 70's and the power cuts, yes and the three day week.
We didn't have our electric on a meter.....but our gas was on a meter......it was a mad scramble to find a bob to put in the gas before it went out.....out meter was in a cupboard in the living room and it invariably meant moving a chair to get into the blooming thing......I think the gas went out more times than not.
