Talking to a colleague, y’day, who had a couple of hours of #powercuts over the weekend “It was so boring, there was nothing to do except go to bed.”
Denizens of the UK: brace yourselves! This could be the defining feature of this winter.
Get a thermos flask, and a habit of filling it with hot water at lunchtime.
Keep your devices charged and download a couple of films/books/podcasts as reserve.
NB: the gas may be on, but if the leccy controls are out, so is your heating!
