Power Cut on Gleadless Valley, Early Hours - 14/03/09

[Merlina 10]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why this happened? The power was out to the whole of Gleadless Valley about 03.15 ish this morning, for approx 15 - 20 mins.

 

It set off several burgler alarms (including my brothers) and also affected the street lighting as well.

 

Explainations & Suggestions (not rude ones!) please!

From YEDL:-

Power outage was due to the hamster in the generating wheel needing to be changed....unfortunatly the H+S risk assesment took longer than expected due to the new hamster requesting more sweetcorn in his paypacket.

it went off in Charnock as well because when i woke up this morning my bedside clock was flashing and it only does that when the power has been cut
