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.


anecdotal (I was like 4-5 at the time)...

Me too.


Experiences in other parts of the country may have been very different.

I remember my Dad taking me to sit in the Cortina to listen to his radio (or
did he have a cassette player then?) - he certainly had beer. My Mum was on
nights. Once I had fallen to sleep I was taken back inside to bed.
