Default Storm power outages

scribbled...


In listening to the reports of people without power for the last
couple of days am I alone in thinking that complaining about a
service with a 99.98% up-time reliability is a bit of a moan.

(Guessing that she's in her 50s, so she's had 5 days downtime in
20,000+ days.)

jgh



The power companies have cut down on repair staff and repair equipment.
WTF is going to invest £millions of off-road vehicles for them to be
used for a couple of days each year?
These ****wits in big houses out in the country without power in Surrey
all assume they are 1st on the list to be reconnected, now they're
learning it doesn't work like that. The power companies will
concentrate on getting the areas with denser population back on first.
As for the ****s living about 2ft above the Medway in Yalding. WTF do
they expect living on a floodplain that's flooded regularly for
thousands of years!
