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?

Me too.

I was trying to revise for my 'A' levels by the light of a Tilley lamp.


A-Levels? You old person! ;-

I was just getting to grips with the Beano...
