Another powercut! Oh my days. Looks like another evening starring at a candle contemplating my own existence. A good thing to do every now and then btw.

I have spent.more time in the last 6 months, without either water or electricity than I have done in the entirety of the rest of my humble life.

Anyone else would think this was all preplanned?

Where do you live? I haven't experienced any power cuts. How often has this happened to you?

{Ed032's Note - South East coast. 4 x water supply (longest was 4 days) 6 x power cut (longest 3 days). I did get £120 credit from the water company, I don't recall receiving anything from the electric company though I do admit my eyes are usually watery from all the crying about the size of my bill and my vision is compromised whenever I view my account. ?

I stopped paying my lecky bill (edf) last November. I'm all good. I get letters asking for meter readings, which I supply, and I get a bill that I will pay when I'm back on my feet. You should all do something similar.

{Ed032's Note - I sadly have a smart meter. They want me to pay 180. I tell them I can only afford to pay 40, if they want more they will have to take me to court because I have not got it or maybe the can give me a cut of the 10X profits they are making ripping everyone off.

My tariff is almost doubling in a weeks time. Oh happy days. ???
