You might not hear from Pete M tonight.

Apparently a lot of Liverpool has absolutley no power, even the traffic lights are out, and the coppers are directing traffic in high vis jackets.

Don't laugh, my dad used to work for Manweb and he got called out one night because the power had gone out for a big chunk of Liverpool. He found the problem fairly quickly, some scouse had seen a cable that was clipped to a bridge and decided to steal it for the copper. It was an HT line supplying a big chunk of Liverpool with current. The thief had cut through it with a hand held hacksaw and removed about 1/4 of a mile of armoured copper cable. He should have been converted to a thin smear of greasy carbon but the lucky git didn't even suffer mild burns.

Heh, unlucky folks... It was South Liverpool that had no electrickery. I live in the more "upmarket" end...

What about the traffic in normal, dark jackets? Or can't they see that to direct it?

Yeah it's a nice place to visit I really liked it. Was expecting scumpit but was pleasantly surprised.

Coventry - now there's a shithole. I lived there for 4 years. Damn I love Cheshire.
