This thread is a little pointless, IMO. The power cut had no impact on most of the country. It didn't even have any impact on most of London.

It's a complete non-story. This sort of thing happens to more people around the UK and it doesn't make anywhere near the front page of the nationals. It's like the media thinks that if it happens to London, it's somehow more newsworthy.

I have been a Londoner for 60 years, and l am totally mystified that there has not been another great fire of London, with all the crap you see on the London streets and back alleys from shop's.

For many years l delivered to the many shops of London, and the rubbish that you saw piling up in the alleys and fronts is beyond me.

I see no moderating posts as they would be in bold so they are posting here as forum members offering an opinion on a non event that was reported simply because it happened in our countries capital city, similar issues have occurred elsewhere but are only reported locally.;)

No problem at all it was a serious fire but all seems fine down there now, as I said above other similar incidents around the country are usually not reported in the media due to them being outside of London.

Don't worry about it ,a very small number of people where without power for a very short amount of time in a very small area of london .Of course if the same outage had happened anywhere else in the UK it would have took about 3 days to fix ;)
