They have just sacked the 600 workers at lindsey oil refinery and the fiddlers ferry power workers have been out for four days in support.....
It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

I have a wind up LED torch .... if there's no leccy I'll be sleeping. There's only so much fun you can have home alone with a wind up torch (wind for 1 minute, light for 20 minutes). I can only do 2 shadow puppets... I'd be bored after 4 minutes.0

I remember the power cuts of the 70s. The schedule of when you were going to be without electricity was published in the local paper. We would have toast for tea, cooked over the fire using a toasting fork.
Not many people with open fires these days.0 -

We used to do the same and mum would boil a kettle on a calour gas stove so she could have a cuppa.
Toast done on a radiator doesn't have the same appeal to me. Perhaps I'm old fashionned.0 -
I feel over prepared now: we have a little calor gas stove, and open fire and candles. None bought in preparation for power cuts.0
