Turn off the bright lights
Blimey, eh? So there I am, sitting at my computer, about an hour ago (or perhaps less) when all the lights go out and the computer shuts itself down. I hear M**** downstairs going, "Oh no," or similar and a couple of seconds later I realise it's a power-cut. These are rare things in Lancaster. I fumbled my way to the garage outside and picked out the three bicycle lights. We lit loads of candles and were just getting into the whole lack of electricity thing when, perhaps about twenty minutes later, the power returned. Shame it had been a cloudy night (for those at the back, I'm thinking of the stars here), the power-cut having affecting large parts of Lancaster (extent unknown). We tuned in on The Bay but after having announced, "We'll get back to you as soon as we hear something from United Utilities about tonight's power-cut," it just went dead. Silence.
