... guess that answers my question - Groups 1 & 2 are having a bad day though (mind you, IIRC group 5 got hit 3 times in one day a couple of weeks back).

I don't get how the PE load shedding works, it's so silly. Group 1 will be off if it's stage 1, but if it's stage 2, you get skipped. At least in CT, it works like this, if you have Stage 1, it means you're off for 1, 2, 3 and 4. Stage 2 is off for 2, 3, 4 and so the pattern goes on. You can at least plan that way, with the PE load shedding, you stuck with a mindf@ck of planning your day.

It keeps our minds active - also makes a drive along Cape Road from the city centre to Hunters Retreat interesting during rush hour traffic

How about they just load shed the ****s in Soweto that are burning and pillaging because they can't steal electricity anymore?

That's my point exactly. So if for arguments sake its Stage 2 at 2am on a Tuesday morning, and it drops to stage 1 at 4am, then you're off from 2am to 6:30am. In our world, we would only have been off from 2 to 4:30 if it was stage 1 or stage 2, no other time.

Yeah, that's not a nice drive after work in winter with the sun in your face the whole time.

I agree with you... If the stage remains as is, then their schedules work very nicely. But... please don't ask them to think beyond a single dimension!!!

Are there power cuts happening in Pretoria ? I never hear PTA people complaining.
