Dodgy Electricity

Following on from the lightbulbs thread, did anyone else's lights in "Lower Bengeo" keep dimming yesterday evening? Is it our dodgy wiring or a general supply thing?

I had the same problem in "upper Bengeo". Glad to hear someone else had the problem as I went around the house turning things off thinking I had an overloaded circuit. Having said that, I still think we've had too many electricity problems in Hertford recently. I don't think the service justifies the cost.

The same thing was happening in Ware, I have also had problems with lightbulbs.

I wonder of there is some connection with the UFOs, lightbulbs, electricity and the Knights Templar? Where is TVA when we need him?

2 power fluctuations and bulbs blown when turned on immediately afterwards. I was doing some wiring at the time of the first one. Maybe it's my fault.

we used to experience daily powercuts in our gaff, but I just assumed it was our ancient wiring. Funny how it only ever happenned during the day when we were out though. Bloody annoying having to reset clocks all the time

Power kept going off at The Stonehouse last night as well, so it seems to be widespread but not affecting whole areas (Only Bull Plain seeemd to be affected, not Salisbury Square or Railway St).

There were two interruptions where I live as well (lower, lower Bengeo [:)], well Hertford really). I was charging one of those smoke alarms that plug into a bulb sockets at the time and that resulted in the alarm going off for a while.

my girlfriend was in the pool in Hartham last night and there was a blackout, so it definitely was widespread. It didn't affect the Mount Road massive though (for once!)

Just had a big surge - seems to have taken out some of the streetlights.
