Up for work 0500 yesterday morning. House had no power. Checked the breakers all OK.
Had a quick look outside. Some houses had lights on. So ruled out all houses and a blanket power cut.
Phoned the emergency number on our Sainsburys Bill at 0530. Local SSE engineer was checking our meter at 0620. Engineer discovered there was only 90v arriving at the meter and turned it over to the oncoming day shift.
0820 SSE gang arrive start digging up the road/path. 1020 power restored. Hole in road/path tidied up.
Bl00dy marvellous. Well done all round.
