Yes if you buy a few more
they can be used, even if we do not have a power cut.

How did we go from occasional 3 hour blackouts ( 4pm to 7pm ) to SEVEN DAY power cuts ?!?!!

Meh, some people are freaking out because they might have to go a couple of hours at a time without staring at a little glowing rectangle, if reading BS on social media doesn't get old to them, nothing will :laugh:

yeah but they have changed the time frame from 4 hours to 7 day power cuts. 7 days must be bordering on the inconvenient to most people :laugh:

That’s not a very charitable take on matters !!

I for one will be looking out for the old folk in our cul de sac ..

I'm gonna have the shakes if it harms my viewing of Kingdom Season 4.:fist::joker:

In all seriousness though I probably will be watching it sooner rather than later, hopefully I've already finished by the time a 7 day power cut happens.

Nothing Wrong with you doing that.


But so many avoid cash

If we get Power Cuts some shops
will open to sell what they can
but dealing only in Cash


That is sensible advice
I help many folks
but I do not need to post about it.
