Re: Did the lights go out for you too !!!

I remember the 90's power cuts telephone cuts and water cuts, when we had that really heavy snow end of november, it bought down all the power and telephone lines. no power meant no water, we all had tanks in the streets. early 90's it was, before 95 I'm sure.

I live in the same area but we only had one power cut that lasted the whole of the second half of the Liverpool v Arsenal game.

Yes we were affected, dont know how long we were off for because we'd been out, we're near Wensley Drive, this happens on a regular basis at the moment.

So did you all have to sit under the stairs then??? ;)

No powercut over here in GH today!

No, if we opened the door it dimly lit up downstairs, and we sat with the curtains open, showing off to the neighbours, it also powered a black and white portable TV.

Happy days.:)
