Well it's like the end of the world here. Currently 22:42 and the power has been off since about 14:00 :cry:
Wouldn't be so bad, but being easter weekend all the kids are home from uni, and of course without pc's, web or tv they think they're going to die.
I have a mains invertor and a fully charged car battery, so we managed 4 hours of TV before the battery went flat. Luckily I've got a mobile broadband mi-fi box, and a small collection of fully charged laptops, so I'm online Although I'm down to the last laptop now.
If it had been daytime I would have been tempted to run an extension in from one of the cars and use it as a generator for the invertor, but not at this time of night.
Electric co. says it's going to be off until about midnight, of course as soon as it comes back on all hell will let loose, alarms will go off, all the lights and tv's etc will come on, usual story.
