Wow Hope you arent held up for too long. Thanks

Im in Essex but saw on the news how businesses and shops are struggling and this Christmas could be make or break for some of them. A power cut 3 weeks before Christmas wont help.

Oh no! I hope that poster wasn’t getting her hair done!

Seriously though that’s so shit. Hope it gets back on soon.

Yes I thought that. Although Monday night this early in December might not have been planned for late night opening.
There are always a couple of homeless men on the benches over the road, they will be in pitch black :(

Sorry you've been disrupted... Some clot on a demolition site has sliced through a load of power cables and plunged a huge chunk of York city centre into darkness. Hopefully you'll be on the move again, and kept warm in the meantime.

It happened here several years ago Anglian Water cut through an electric cable so after six hours of no water we had six hours of no electric.
