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?

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

Me too.

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


A-Levels? You old person! ;-

I am. Poised on the brink of retirement. Got my first free prescription
today and I'm about to apply for a senior rail card.

Don't forget the bus pass. Useful as proof of age/senility.

Also good for avoiding town centre parking fees, if you have somehere on
a bus route that will take you into town and where the parking is free.
