We have had a power cut :( No lights, no electricity, no hot water, no heating. They are saying its going to be at least a couple of hours until the power comes back, which is so crap it isnt funny.

But to give this thread a bit more point: what shall I order in for dinner? We haven't eaten yet and can't cook anything due to lack of power :p
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    Is it just your house?

    Will the take-aways have electricity?!
