Rebates on powercuts
We have about 2 powercuts every year, usually in the middle of some sporting event (it seems), even during connected periods we often get flickering lights. In the last week we have been off 3 times and for most of today.
Has anyone successfully obtained a rebate for failure to provide electricity?
I am unofficially informed that the mains cables were bought cheap, are not properly protected, and are highly suseptible to ground movement. Only the cables on the main road were replaced so many of the side roads still have problems.
Do I have a good basis for a rebate or is it not worth the effort?
