Default O/T power cuts and 3 day week around the 1970s

Mick IOW scribbled...


Hi all,
Can anyone remind me about the power cuts in the 1970s please?

Did the power cuts begin in September 1972 ?
Were they They3 hours on & 3 hours off ?

Then the 3 day week began in January in 1974 ?

I live on the Isle of Wight, but they were all over the UK I think?

Mick.



The DVLA offices in Swansea are on top of a hill that can be seen for
miles and across the Bristol channel in England. Their lights never
went off, even at night when the place was shut. It was like a single
finger up to the rest of the country.
