BD wasn't that bothered about power cuts - there are tens of thousands each year, however most of these are in country areas, particularly isolated areas, eg due to storms, or vulnerable connections.

However.... he is still extremely grumpy after the events of last night. An alarm went off in the early hours - yes it happens in the wind, and the selfish person over the road who sets it off when he goes out at 5am (both car alarms). But this time it was too loud for a car alarm, and then doubled in number. In my slumber I thought someone is being broken into, perhaps I should do something. After a while with all the racket I thought that any crook would be long gone. Half an hour later peace. Then off it goes again. It dawned on me in the morning when I saw the clock on the cooker had gone off there had been a power cut. And some gets in the posh estate haven't maintained their house alarms so that the battery back ups cut in, in a power cut. If I had been bothered to get up , there would now be two requests for noise abatement orders (yes they are issued for alarms that aren't maintained).

Selfish so and so's. Maybe I'll get an apology..... Probably not
