I grew up with that, that is why I am soooooo against it. Every time I came to JHB to visit my parents all I heard was switch off X and Y.

Now Its MY power and I will switch it when I feel like it.

Yup that happened to us, they finally automated it and it broke. Eskom had to drive through to flip the switch.
