my mum and dad have been without power since 8.30am yesterday morning and Scottish Power aren't even answering the phone, all they get is a recorded message telling them they hope to reconnect their line by midnight tomorrow
they're fine for heat at least, they've a coal fire with a full coal shed and a gas portable heater. It's more cooking that's the problem because all they've got is a one ring camping stove. They sounded quite cheerful apart from the internet withdrawals though. My dad is doing things with the lawnmower battery trying to get a laptop running One of my brothers is having a bit of a mare though, the gutter and some slates are off the roof of their block and there's water running in above one of their windows from the empty flat above
