I was in Haslingden Tesco when the power went off. Lights off, alarms going, checkouts dead... had to key in every barcode of the big shop into the self service checkout!
Went into Bury after that and a large section of the motorway was closed going into Rawtenstall. Saw the pylon up in flames. Friends I went to sixth form with in the valley are worried about having Christmas without any gas. Cue jokes about sprouts!
