Freezers fine only a couple of years old. Problem was the duration the supply was left on which was between 7-9am then 6-10pm and the voltage My normal 60 watt spotlights where like a 12w candle light when the electric was on. Took over an hour to cook chicken strips that only take 20mins normally. From 10pm to 7am and then 9am to 6pm for 7 days there was no electricity at all

I was prepared and had some self heating blankets although these only lasted 4 hours as long as I expect a power cut to last. I now have a small 2.2kw generator
IMO we dont live in a third world country therefore i feel power cuts in this day in age lasting 7 days is inexcusable and a refletion of how
poorly equipped our fantastic privatised electical suppliers are for incidents of this nature
