Electricity supply?

We haven't had one, but I noticed yesterday that my mum had.

I've kept a number handy for years to ring if we have a power cut, and also for water.
I learnt soon after moving into this tiny village that there is no guarantee that anyone else will report either a power cut or loss of water supply,, and sometimes the companies wait for two calls before acting, so I make a point of calling as soon as either happens.

I should also add that both happen quite frequently here, for some reason.

I looked up my area on the map and was surprised at how many power cuts there have been. Here, it said that power was restored this morning - so I suppose it was off in the night!

Thank you all. We’ve had 2 power cuts in the last two weeks but none for ages before that. It seems a bit strange.

Yes, I had one from our local supplier - not the company we pay the bills to.

I went to their website, without using the link they'd supplied,, just in case it was a scam, and found the information quite clearly displayed there.

I didn't note the details but we've found the number to call quite easily before - power cuts are quite common here, although not as frequent as they used to be.

We received this email message yesterday, too.
Coincidentally, the receptionist at the vets told me that she had a power cut on Wednesday night and didn’t know who to contact.
I've stored the number in Contacts on my phone.

Yes. A couple of weeks ago from the people who fix outages. Seems to be general.
