Power cuts in the Altrincham area today. Started at 3:50 am this morning just for a couple of minutes, then went down again at about 9:30 for just over an hour. Just helped my elderly neighbour out. She's a widow and her phone isn't working either, she's with Virgin. Phoned their helpline from my mobile and it says it should be back on at 4pm. Poor bugger is a widow in her eighties, no mobile or internet no idea how these poor buggers cope when things go tits up, luckily I'm around to help.
This is a wake up call to sort some backup power source out as I'm sure things will get worse this winter.
