Does anyone know what's up with the power supply in Windsor? It's like living in a 3rd world country at the moment...

No he means you can't see the milita as they raid your village, but the people in power are buying new cars and houses.




If you think its bad now wait till they realise they don't have enough power and telecommunications for the olypmics, were is that going to come from.

Yes, it went off in central windsor for about 30 seconds about 8:45, and all the alarms were going off. Those in West Windsor had issues about 8:15 according to the blokes I ran with this morning.

All seems ok now

LOL that isn't really a power cut. 30 seconds of power loss. Ha ha.

I think you could possibly be a bit of a

Well, here south of Windsor town centre it was on and off (lights flickering, and much alarm excitement) 7:00-8:00, off completely from 8:00-9:00, and then off a couple more times until 9:30. On the plus side, I can pretty much set the clocks in my flat with my eyes shut now.

I remember the power cuts in the '70s. 5-6 Hrs at a time! We used to keep candles strategically dotted around the house. It was quite good fun in some ways. The thing I noticed most of all (other than it being dark) was how quiet it became.

A sign of how st our electric generation is and why we need to approve more nuclear power stations quickly and fk the hippies off.

Wiki say:

A rolling blackout, also referred to as load shedding, is an intentionally-engineered electrical power outage. These blackouts are normally in response to insufficient resources and inability to meet prevailing demand for electricity.

In many African and South Asian countries – e.g. India, Nepal, Pakistan, South Africa, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Nigeria and Zimbabwe – a combination of aging electricity generation infrastructure, and the inadequacy of the supply of electricity to the ever expanding demand, has made rolling blackouts a staple of daily life.
