My mum had only just filled 2 freezers when the power went out for 5 days. She lost approx £200-300 of food, including 5 of my favourite fillet steaks....

I have to say, I was listening to the Radio this morning on the way to work and heard some guy interviewed and he was giving off about not having electric for 3 days... I thought to myself "what a of winging tw*t"

why is it always "somebody elses fault" and somebody else has to be liable and pay compensation for it. Is that not what Home & Contents insurance is for?

How the hell can NIE stop Nature from taking it's course. the idiot then went on to say that NIE should spend more money and burry power cables under the ground.... yeah great idea..... because I fancy paying £200/month for home electric... what a knob. (Sorry getting a bit angry now)

For god sake.... you can't blame NIE. they are doing all they can... why should they compensate people for something that is outside of their control?

If people took a bit more bloody responsibility for their own homes rather than looking for someone to blame. Are these people not capable of going out and buying a backup Gas camping stove for basic cooking or a backup gas heater for heating or for that matter going to a local hire shop and hiring a generator... Oh sorry that would cost them money!! which is the real issue here.. tight asses just don't want to spend any money!!

It's the Northern Ireland pysche. We all feel we're owed something and that trait really shines through when things don't go our way.

NIE will be paying £100 to anyone who was still without power on Easter Sunday but the regulator has agreed they are not obliged to pay any other compensation. Story here.
