Power dip on Friday 9th August

It's something set up by the Brexiteers to prove a point - it's the only bit of bad news in the last week that really IS "Nothing to do with Brexit". Thank Christ for that.

Funny how a minor problem in the southeast corner of the UK becomes a major news item.

 

[Pete MB&D]

Nottingham was affected, so a bit more than the southeast corner.


After Brexit when France stops sending electricity it might happen more often.

unny how a minor problem in the southeast corner of the UK becomes a major news item.

dunno where you get your news from, but.....

I dont think Hornsea Offshore wind farm is in the SE?

Looks like most of England and Wales impacted at some point.


Since I last looked I dont think Newcastle is in the SE?

Northern Powergrid said the problems had affected Newcastle Airport and the metro system in the city.

 

[Thorn]

I apologise, but the TV news seemed to be all about the southeast. Leeds was unaffected.

No problem at The Great British Beer Festival, not that we would have noticed if there was!

The Great British Beer Festival,

any good? we nearly went on Sat, but then other events overtook us.

Network hacked. You can bet your life on it.

Pretty good but I have been going since the Ally Pally days and it's lost a lot of the fun factor. No bad beers tried but equally, nothing that stood out as outstanding.
The Queen tribute band went down well but, as always there, poor acoustics.

Time for a 'Which Standby Generator' thread?

You're as bad as one of the service managers here, every time there's a (rare) network blip he runs around flapping that "we've been hacked"

It's the Russians, admit it comrade.

 

[Guest432]

I'm sure Max has an alibi for that day.

Yeh, he was with Putin all day, riding horses bareback on the Steppes
