Power station fire Sunday

[wickesy]

Was anybody else affected by this yesterday? I was in the middle of replying to a post on the DIS at 8:45 yesterday morning when everything went off. I looked out of the window and saw a plume of thick black smoke coming from not too far away so went off to see what was going on and discovered our local sub-station had gone bang!

We were without electricity from 8:45 until it finally came back on at 9:40 p.m. just after we had given up and gone to bed. Luckily everything in the fridge and freezer appear to have survived.

Yes. We're in Beckenham and were without power for a few hours - tho' i got up late and slept thro' most of it...

No, we were OK , but its a standing joke in our town as we are always having power cuts, and for the past five years we have had one on christmas eve!! I know what you went through, all that wondering, waiting and hoping the freezer survives.I can also tell you its no fun preparing a turkey in candle light!!

We all went for a swim at a pool near to us then showered there afterwards (we have a combi boiler so no hot water either). We went to Biggin Hill air show so were out for most of the disruption....
Where are you then, David?
