Default BLACK OUT.

There is a electricity failure in and around the Wavetree area of Liverpool.

Now then.

My girlfriends mate has just been on the mobile explaining this phenomenon, the chat went like this...

Your sitting in the dark...

Thats terrible...

You poor thing, come up to our house !

Wouldnt you think they would have put it on the Granada news to warn you about it....

She is so thick.

Maybe her mate has one of those gas fired TV's..

I didnt invite her, in fact I dont like her, so Ill be staying up here out the way...

I was going to say, " Will her lights work on her car ? "

But I was worried my better half would phone her back and ask the question.

Hello......

My bird is a bit of a looker, yes your right, she lookers a bit like a BullDog chewing a wasp.

Hehe, it was actually on North West Tonight (our BBC1 local news programme, for you non-NW residents). The presenter, Gordon Burns (yes the Krypton Factor bloke, for you non-NW residents), asked people to stop phoning the emergency services about the problem!

Hang on.

It was on Northwest Tonight, and they where inundated with calls of complaint.

If there was no power, how did they watch the TV, am I going mad, or have I missed something ?

Dont tell me I have to go downstairs and eat humble pie...please.

Maybe the Electricity company have twigged that they supply 10,0000000 Gigawatts of electricity to Liverpool and receive only 25 quid a month in bill payments ?

Scousers in the dark? Bloody hell, there'll be looting followed by numerous compensation claims "I was carrying a stolen TV out through Dixon's broken front window when I tripped and fell injuring my back and the back of several of my family..."

Cheers Yoza, That explains why I have lots of red dots on my screen monitoring a large frozen food companies IT network......

No frozen chips or Pies in Liverpool tomorrow, just soggy thawed ones.
