Imagine Blackpool Tower plunging into darkness, Blackburn Cathedral disappearing into the night or the lights going out on the Harris Museum....

Now 11am - its daylight so why bother turning the lights out ...........and 6pm its not really a black sky is it?
If you want to know what its like driving on a road without lights - go over the highway in the sky and all the lights on the roundabout are going up the hill are off, well it depends sometimes they work and sometimes they dont. A friend of mine reports it everytime theyre off and LCC say its nowt to do with them its United Utilities - and they say there is something wrong with the transformer or something like that and the amount of traffic on the road keeps jolting it and so it wont work...
I can be a sort of representative for UU for the site if people like If you get me the name of the road I will personally get you an update and chase it up. The amount of traffic on the road doesn't have any effect on the load on the Transformer so I find that strange that someone would say that but stranger things have happened at our place. Like I said I am willing to help where possible
