View Full Version : Power outage in Walkley? JoeP 19-09-2004, 07:59 Hi all, We had a power cut last night for a couple of hours - anyone else cop for it? The lack of street lamps did allow a slightly better look at the starts - shame it was a bit misty! Joe Cyclone 19-09-2004, 11:23 yeah, we were mid-party when it happened. Carried on with a few torches and candles. darkstardust 19-09-2004, 12:55 had a seconds woth of down-time last night at Stannington - most impressive as I walked in - checked on the cats and then all of a sudden there was no power - then all came back with light and beeps from the PC's upstairs. I think it was about 1AM ish? JoeP 19-09-2004, 13:40 I think ours went about 11-30 or so...... We just trotted around the place, turned off stuff that would wake us when it came back on, marshalled the cats and turned in and listened to the radio for an hour or so. I think it came on sometime in the small hours but wouldn't know when.... It was quite nice and relaxing. I guess that somewhere a little man said 'I wonder what will happen if I press this big button marked 'Do not press this big button'...... Followed by 'Oops......' :) Joe alchresearch 19-09-2004, 13:56 Not sure if it's a coincidence but we had one in Manchester at around the same time. sccsux 19-09-2004, 14:22 Well. Strange! We're in Walkley & had no power outage at all???? Though all our street light were out a couple of night ago.... Spooky prelude maybe... robbie 19-09-2004, 17:24 yep, went off about 11.30 and cam eback on about 1.30. Must buy a torch . Luckily we had 2 candles in the house... fuzzy 19-09-2004, 17:45 A blip that turned off the telly and lights, but not the clocks or computer about 11.30 in Crookes. al_partridge 19-09-2004, 23:44 Went off about 11:20 (right in the middle of the football!) Nothing else for it than to go to bed, and it came back on around 1:15ish. We're in Hillsborough, off the bottom of Walkley Lane. Could see power was still on in the big flats on Bradfield Road. Kristian 20-09-2004, 00:25 My Mom lives in Lower Walkley, and her power went off for a couple of hours. She's partially sighted, and woke up on the sofa in complete darkness. Poor love thought she had gone blind until she found her lighter! I know it's wrong to laugh, but it made me smile that sudden blindness was her first thought... Kristian Fearful 20-09-2004, 07:55 We had a bilp around 1ish on Sunday morning. I thought it was the amount of wine I'd drunk at the time :) |
