Well Well Well Guys and Girls, we had some fun and games last night when the substaion on our street exploded, causing oil in the tranformer to catch fire, and went with a big bang. Fire engines, Police, EON emergency services where all over the road, and completely selaed the road off to drivers and passersby.

with in 2.5 hrs everything was back on, although the lights did flicker abit after i went to the pub, but alass the power hasnt intereuptered again, so maybe its all sorted who knows. but fair play to EON emergency Line/Workers and also the fire brigade as they where very efficient in sorting the problem and stopping nerby homes from being damaged

 
only cctv images of it afterwards once our power was restored and by then the fire had been defired :^O
You have no UPS, with auto start backup generator? I am disappointed.

Still, next power cut I'm going to key your car! ;)
