Recommended Posts

The posters wondering why car alarms where sounding after power cut, If streets were in darkness, could the alarms be caused by unsavoury characters taking advantage of the situation and trying to pinch cars?:(

im in stocksbridge and for the past 3 times my lights have been flicking in every room like they do when there about to blow, my bedroom light blew earlier but nothing else. Its just strange how they have been flicking for past few days. someone mentioned on facebook tht it happened in there house n they saw someting strange in the sky, cant remeber exactly what it said bt something about lights in sky n a crossfire or something. anyway its all very strange!!!

I assume that is a joke?

The power on my road was only off for a few seconds, so they would have to have been very well prepared thieves! No, the alarms all went off at exactly the same time as the power went off, that was why I found it strange. I guess it was just one of those things

Why not buy an antisurge adaptor to protect your delicate electronic

equipment,they are about a Fiver. Well worth it if you have computers or games equpment that cost several hundred pounds.

More than likeley is if the distruption was caused by a blow out of electricity it could have sent some sort of shockwave out that triggered the alarms especially if it was under ground.
