I Despair..

[Scythe13]

Mary, it really seems like you have some crap neighbours! If it was me, I'd bred up my coffee 10 minutes before the scheduled black out. Even if I didn't want any, because in 3 hour's time...I'm going to want coffee haha. Some people are just too thick to help. Take notes of all the people who've 'suffered' at the power-out. Those are the people you'll need to avoid the most WTSHTF. For the simple reason that in a scheduled MICRO-event, they were incompetent, they'll obviously be 10 times worse in a real event. Take notes, take names, take numbers, and start avoiding any prep-related conversations with those people.

What time of day was the power-cut scheduled for?


Interestingly enough, BP has been harping on about power-outages for quite a while now. This winter and next winter things will really be interesting if all the articles and news reports he posts are accurate/right.
