Fud 26 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Was at the mates last night when we had a power cut. Not just our street etc but the whole highlands. It don't half make you realize how much you rely on electricity. Stopped smoking so no lighter, which wouldn't have mattered cos we had no candles do folk prepare for stuff like this it only lasted about half an hour but still, makes you think what you'd be like if it lasted for weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When your a kid there is no fear surrounding them. But as an adult you start wondering, what the f**k am I gonna do if this doesn't come on soon. Amazing how many things we do requires juice.

Growing up in the late 60's and 70's people had plenty of practice on how deal with shortages of all kinds. And were no worse for it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
