The Thanet Star

We do not have the power

It's power cut season here in Thanet it seems.

Adem reported a long EDF outage in Ramsgate last year but last night it was Margate's turn. Sometime after midnight but before 2:30 there was an outage covering most of Margate. That one almost cost me a client because I had no alarm clock to wake me up.

This evening there was a short outage that hit parts of Millmead and possibly elsewhere although there were two outages elsewhere in the UK at that time.

Have you had any outages recently?
