Has anybody here suffered a power cut? How did you take it?
I went through one after dark some years ago, it lasted about an hour and I've never forgotten it, I mean one second you're in your warm heated well-lit home watching TV, and the next you're back in the stone age with no light or heating, no TV, no way of making a cup of tea or a meal, fumblimg around by torchlight like a caveman, and outside there's just pitch blackness, not a glimmer of light to be seen anywhere..
I won't say it was a life-changing event, but it certainly brought home to me how we're just a whisker away from the stone age in the blink of an eye..
