Last time we had a power cut here we were told it was for essential work to prevent further power cuts.

Now I know what some of you are going to say - PSU, Generator, no problem. But it's just not that simple, especially if somebody forgets to plug the router into the PSU.

Thankfully our Electricity provider, 18th Century Steam Power, have now stoked up their boiler again. The truth is they probably have to turn off the power in high winds so that they don't get sued when their power lines fall down. Especially as the Pylons are only made of bamboo.

Well at least they make up for it with excellent customer service. An answerphone message tells us that all their customers are very important to them, and that if there is a problem, we can be sure they are already aware of it. How nice.

Moral of the story - Don't set up business in Sawbridgeworth.

If Im honest I havent heard of many of the places the Special Reserve shops are situated in. Sawerbridgeworth, Upminster, Egham, Chelmsford or Basildon are places I have no idea where they are. They are probably cheaper to set up in little villages at the seaside....
I really should have taken geography.....
