Did you have a power cut over the weekend?
10 Answers
We were without electricity for most of Sunday (all overhead cables round our way). We have a gas fire and a gas hob, but everything else is electric. I was quite happy sitting by the fire and doing some long overdue flute practice, but Mr Frog was going stir crazy without being able to watch sport on tv and without being able to put the Sunday dinner in the oven.
Did anyone else have a power cut? And how dependent are you on electricity?

No, we didn't. When we do get one, a rare event, it's brief. We had two recently as a result of thieves stealing some cable.We are very dependent on electricity, which powers far more, from the boiler to the computers, than in the past.
Years ago, there seemed to be one every time there was a thunderstorm and quite a lot when there wasn't. We kept a stack of candles and matches in the kitchen and the sitting room, for that frequent event.

Nanny - you sould like a good woman to have around in a crisis!
gness - he was so fed up, the poor lad couldn't even muster the smallest caper. Maybe I should have got the bells out as well.
Fred - that cable theft is just plain evil! As you say, we're dependent on electricity, and that could quite literally be the difference between life and death for some folks. Grrrr.
