Heard that they are striking due to monies that was docked from their salaries.

We could have a whole weekend of no blackouts !!!

Gridwatch just reported an "unexpected outage in group 6", don't know which town they're referring to - PE maybe?.

If they are on strike... good luck with that.

Nice.

So the blackouts were suspended but still no power here.

When it first went off at nine it was immediately followed by the power going on and then off again… I'm getting the feeling something broke.

Lets hope so because it seems like they're not sending anyone out due to the strike.

Keep on reading "Rolling Refreshments".

I'm guessing the water dept is also on strike as there's definitely no sign of water-shedding .

Seems like it was gently raining all night as the garden is totally sodden, standing water all over the lawns and a lake in the drop-off to the back wall

... and Gridwatch just alerted me to stage 2 starting at 08:00 - Oh Joy
