Certainly is as the other story is the shelves are bare

Some official on radio said people should do what they normally do at a time like this...is that not panick and strip the shelves bare as if most roads cut off when will shelves get restocked.

I can't talk, my Cockernee accent is always ridiculed ... I think some people's accents get stronger the further from their birthplace they get.

I have hit the wine, the OH is home now from Melbourne and if any driving needs to be done, it ain't me :)

Stay safe :)

We were talking about it at the dinner that there was no need for designated drivers because there will be no RBTs. It was in jest of course though and no one drove home drunk!:)

Didn't check but I'm sure is would have been too outrageous for most BE'ers. We're usually just going to bed around that time in our house so maybe we'll sleep through all the power cuts. My husband will go stir crazy not being able to work, think the kids and I will spend the day in the tent.
