The RAF has been deployed to protect Saudi Arabia .
The government says it is in our interest to  support SA .

It was in our interest to keep American and Israel onside too .

Nell made herself another tea
With dippy biscuits-One-Two-Three
Bert swiped her biscuits quick as a flash
She cuffed him hard and gave him a bash  :waiting:

I think it's actually part of a cunning plan for nicking some more tax from us...

I believe that, should there be a power cut locally, I understand that we will have no electricity, no lighting, no telly or any other electrical appliances.  On the other hand we do have torches and mobile phones which, depending on local connections, may or may not function.
We still have a car if we need to obtain anything in person.
Nevertheless, depending upon how long any power-cut persists, we are hopefully able to continue to exist!
I hope the water supply doesn't dry up!

So much rain here today.  I've got a grand-dog staying for a few hours but she hasn't settled and is probably missing her brother who is at doggie day care.  I'm sure she knows it's time her dad arrived home from a 6 til 2 shift, as she's been up at the window.

It does seem just common sense doesn't it, but I 've now got my power bank on charge !  I forgot about that, thanks Klondy.

I went through it yes. I wondered if it would recommend more than the obvious or give a plan for a prolonged outage.

The first storm of the season has been forecast for this Friday - 'Storm Austin'.

It is supposed to be hitting the South of the country worst.  and
They are saying to expect heavy rain, and 70 mph winds.

Doesn't sound very good, does it . . .

It's just National Grid warning there may be power cuts. There is a link to what they recommend you do to prepare based on where you live and a few other criteria which seems to have frightened Mups. It recommended I have a torch and batteries to hand.

The grid is struggling and there is a good chance we'll be in for power cuts. This is the first time I've seen them send out a warning though.

This is the link to check what they recommend. https://winterhub.nationalgrid.co.uk/plan/ I doubt it will be up to much.
