Situation with our leccy is getting worse and farcical.
Whilst we were away there was a big storm and we lost power for 8 hours.
On Monday there was a bit of rain and distant thunder and lightening and the power goes. Ring up the Electric Company. Oh we've no other listed faults it must be your supply we will send someone but could be sometime
Check with nearest neighbour ( elderly) who is 250 metres away , they've got no power either. Phone back leccy board with phone that's virtually out of charge. "Oh ok well send someone"
12 house later power back on but turns out 19 other villagers without.
Work carries on and 5pm last night goes off. Walk up to the workies. "My powers just gone off"
Reply " yes I've cut the wire so I can work on the cable"
" But now I've got no f...ing power and a 95 yr old mum"
Reply "thought you had a generator!"
Honestly incompetence reigns. By 10pm.we had a generator but those things are so noisy and in hot weather you sleep with all the windows open , so no bloody sleep! Good job mum's deaf!
Dogs get tetchy with the noise and Rosie attacks Tintin who good as gold doesn't retaliate ( he's so big he could batter her) and just cries , God love him.
So Mrs J in 1 room with Rosie , me and Tintin in the other and absolutely no sign of the whole thing getting fixed.
Exasperated Mrs J says last night go get a takeaway so I toddle off to Burscough , both are shut , so stupid me picks up a pizza and beer from Tesco only to remember when driving back that we've no bloody oven.
We've had better days and less heated arguments.
Have a lovely day everyone, we won't!
