LOL

I spoke too soon.

Just suffered another power cut!!

I give up. Too late to try and get back into the mood today and shares have performed well this week - another fluke - the better I get the luckier I get or whatever the expression is.

Just been out to stock up on batteries, candles, gas canisters and now looking at freezers. Blimey, the price of a freezer - FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS - and to think the broken freezer we've got at the moment, we bought a couple of months ago and it cost us a bottle of wine. Inflation or what?

I might be back tomorrow, but with the weekend looming up, it will probably be safer to wait until next Monday before I start gambling again. So, I shall just lurk till next week.

I find it amazing at how quickly you can lose touch with the market and how long it takes to get back into the correct frame of mind again.

Mike , it doesnt matter who you pay for your power, its still supplied to you via the local RECs (Regional Electricity Companies) distribution network, sadly switching companies will make no difference to your reconnection times.

Pitbull, If I can be of help, until 3 years ago I was an engineer managing overhead line rebuilds, faults and repairs with my local REC. If you want any background or supporting info feel free to mail me although to be honest storms are a fact of live and the biggest single cause of increased restoration times after storms IMHO is the massive drop in staff numbers since privatisation.

Good luck

PitBull,

Calm down, It doesn't matter who you buy your electricity from. You either have cables or don't. I think you can now buy your electric from france but they'll only deliver it if there is a cable. If you change to "Fred electric company" you may get cheaper electric - you will not get more consistent electric.

Actually, can I interest you in "Mikes Electric" - you send your money to Manchester - you get your electricity from the grid.

End of the day, buy it from the cheapest.

Mike.
P.S. Check with your neighbours and decide which company gets you reconnected quickest.

I'm sorry to hear so may sad stories. I guess we have been lucky here after all. We have been suffering surges and dips in power since last weekend and it seems it is the same problem that stopped the French trains running - the winds coming in from the sea coated everything in salt. "Touch wood" today has been OK.

Hello again. Anyone remember me?

At last, we're back on.

Sunday 9:00am to Monday 22:40pm, then Wednesday 06:45am to today 11:00am.

Both burglar alarm's batteries ran out of puff and their final act of defiance is to set the alarm off. That pleased the neighbours no end, especially when the office one went off this morning at 05:30am.

Put too much wood in the fire on Sunday evening and it got too hot. Fire brigade came out when we had a bad chimney fire! What was much worse was that one was our postman and the other a friend of mine who I see fairly frequently. Despite being in a power cut we managed to make 13 cups of tea and coffee for the crew who attended.

The cellar is now nice and full of water since we use an electric pump to pump out the spring.

Our deep freeze blew up when the power came back on on Tuesday evening too. Got to buy a new one now.

Ain't life great?

:)

Blame the Regulator. He has demanded lower prices and more cost savings: it has to hit somewhere.

Pitbull, I lose my electricity supply at least 3 times a year. Longest time out was 2 days last year. Its the price of living in the sticks.
At least you couldn't see West Ham lose again!

On a shares-subject: Fountains (FNT) should be creaming it, per some RNS yesterday, during all this down-time.

Sorry to those affected; v. frustrating.

I live in rural Suffolk. We lost power at 10.00am Sunday morning and when I left home for work this morning Thursday, we STILL had not been reconnected. Absolute bloody disgrace. I am contemplating sending 24/7 a bill for lost money (freezer contents etc, (excess not covered by insurance), strain of lugging saucepans full of hot water upstairs to enjoy a 1" bath, lost business, etc etc. It is impossible to get through to 24/7 as all they have is an answering machine. What a shower they are.

For the second time in a year I have suffered a complete loss of electricity.

Yet again 24Seven who are responsible for reconnecting the supply have shown their total inability to .... ( think of a sentence with organise and brewery in it).

At all levels, and I have spoken to several directors, of the company they lie to their customers.

Following the fiasco last year, I think that this is just once too many, I am sending this via a latop that I charged at work, sitting by the fire with a torch shining on the keyboard 72 hours after they said they would have an engineer arrive to resolve the problem. In my drive I have a generator that they delivered at 18:00, ran till 19:30 started spluttering and died by 21:00, it had next to no fuel in it!!

I am trying to gather other peoples experiences of 24seven so that together we can change this complacent companies attitude to their customers. They closed their call centre completely for the last two days because too many people were calling them?!??!!

I am setting up a website with a message board, however I can not work on this at the moment, though my brother is helping with this, it will be up in the next few days.

the web site will be

While waiting for this to be created please feel free to email 24never@Boldinghatch.fsnet.co.uk with any information you think may be useful.

Just about to throw another log on the barbie
