Electricity

(It's a song by Talking Heads in case you're wondering - I doubt you are though.)

What is going on along Sherbroke Way?  A week ago many of us had the joy of learning what it's like to live in rural England by being without power for the best part of a day (and water for some of it too - what a hoot).  As if this weren't inconvenient enough, we now have the the pavements and verges dug up as part of the remedial work.  In the best British way these holes appear to have been abandoned by EDF who don't appear to be acting with any particular urgency to return our development to the state in which they found it.

It's enough to make you want to produce your own energy.

Wind turbines on the hill anybody?
