Does anyone still get a power cut?

It was a big thing in the early 90s when I was a kid. It got better from the mid 90s though.
As of 2006, I live on the edge of Stafford, in a built-up area. We still lose power about 4 times per year mainly in the darker months. I was going to re-subscribe back into World of Warcraft tonight. Then you guessed it - lights out for most of this evening. That's put my game on the back burner for another night.

if it wasn't for a pack of weed, some rizzlas and a lighter it would have been the shittiest Saturday night ever.
you dont realise how much you need electricity, until it goes off.
For a week?! What the hell did you do in terms of watching porn?!?!?!
hahaha read.
its not that bad, surprisingly!
There was one time there was no power for 2 weeks and we couldn't get out the village because of the snow, plus my brother was only a few months old. Bad times.
JavaKrypt - I know what you mean. I think it's called a sub-station.
The last one we had was last year, late at night too, so when we did get power everyones alarms went off.
I was at someones house at the start of the year when they had a power cut.
But proper power cut not since 2006 when I was writing my dissertation.
I just text mum saying we have had snow blizzards and thunderstorms today, and i got a text back saying "oooh quick! turn everthing off! haha"
turns out the server room for the college network had a bit of a explosion in one of the boxs and that shorted out a few fuses or something, lol
FE colleges have server rooms now? When this happen?!
Oh no
Is that where you work? Also why did the backup supply fail? My ex bf used to install them and I've never known of them fail!
