We had a strange teensy weensy one which only seemed to affect the lights while the computers carried on OK. Most odd. Maybe it was a surge.

This is what makes it exciting...well, newsworthy anyway

There has been loss of electricity supply in several parts of the country. This is because the loss of two power stations including a nuclear station (Sizewell I believe) triggered a system disturbance. A major supply emergency and possibly a blackout was only averted because emergency protection triggered load shedding of blocks of load in several different parts of the country.There is still a possibility of a generation deficit tonight. You need to check this out. The electricity system is not what it used to be in this county. Sorry about the not giving my name but I work in the Industry.
