Sorry to be a pain. I have just received a letter from Western Power
Distribution telling me they are cutting our electric supply for essential
works ( actually the replacement of an old 2 phase incoming overhead mains
cable which I have been told is " dangerous" - but its been there sine the
1950's and hasn't blown up yet!

I have no problem with this but it says the power will be cut off between 6
am ( SIX AM) and 8am ( EIGHT AM). Is this a bit early or is it me?

Is this reasonable? It seems a bit early in the morning to me and more so
since we both go to work at 7 am and this is right in the middle of
breakfast and shower time etc. I have no other power supply to the house.
No mains gas to village. Nothing. I am totally reliant on electric for
cooking and hot water etc.
