Had a trying day today. Some brainless wonder from the gas board stuck a pnumatic drill through the power cable in the street and we were without electricity. This lasted from about lunch time to 8pm. All without lights, TV, radio, music, heating, cooking facilities, and most stressfully without computers.
I never want to go through a day like that again.

Me storming round to check all the circuit breakers in the house, only to find it was the gas men who had bust it. Strange image.

Very...
Happily my house remains intact, although our streetlight doesn't.
Gas people are a bad thing... Transco said we'd have to wait 2 weeks for hot water 'cause they didn't have a part... happily Estates and Buildings sorted it out within 2 days of the problem being dumped on their desk

Handy, the worst thing about today was that without electrisity out heating doesn't come on. So by the time the lights came back on it was freezing.

Better...
The main building is going to be hot waterless tomorrow, but I'm hopeful my house will be unaffected...

I been there before, in halls without water isn't fun. Even worse if there is water but its all brown with rust and "stuff". *shudder*

These things we do not think about, lest they drive us mad... like labs, and water, and getting up in the morning
