You talk in riddles, sir, but you appear to be encountering some sort of assault upon your household.

Should you require my services to take arms against your sea of troubles, then consider me all tooled up and prepared to involve myself in a melee.

I remain of course your humble etc etc.

We had a powercut on Ivydale Road at about... 7.30pm, it lasted about 20 minutes. I dashed straight for my box of emergency candles and lit as couple, was very romantic.


Looked out the window to see if it was just us or the whole street, it was the whole street. I went outside in bare feet but either nobody else had noticed or they were all asleep, because no one came out for about 10 minutes until my neighbour made an appearance and we discussed the situation in the dark. The only light was from the passing cars... and the pub funnily enough (we decided they must have a generator, can't stop those beer pumps pumping).

They may not have had a generator. I am on Limesford Road and we got a dip and surge. Very strange - I was standing talking to my family after getting in from work and the lights dimmed for a few seconds. At the same time that they brightened the subwoofer connected to my PC made a very strange subwoofer sound. Then every thing was nornal again

Just to clarify....


Surge protector = cheap, good against spikes - deck very prone to crashing (unless it's a laptop)


uninterrupted power supply = bit expensive (?50-?300 or so) depending on how much your deck sucks at peak performance + monitor - gives you enough time to shut down if the power stays off (and can be done automatically)


clean wall power supply = expensive (?300-?800) - the reassurance of your home circuits not adversely affecting your

hardware, a good option for those doing audio/video work at home.


Sold State drives = expensive - the advantage being power outages or surges far less likely to result in CRC errors, page file interruptions, file allocation table corruption etc.

was gonna say.use the other heh. worth knowing about though, how you reset the on/off. if say it was in sleep mode it may not know if its on off sleeping or whatever when the power comes on. so you think its broken. seeing as, seems to be more power cuts recently. weve had a few drops in power here.

Thanks for you post. To surge protector, the more that I know about is how to use 6 outlet surge protector with 3 usb charging port to protector game PC from charging damage. From using this tool, you don't need to worry about charging will destroy your device.Or you can search bestekmall on Google to learn more details about it. Wish this point is helpful to you. Best wishes.

    • Can't agree with this, some of them appear totally gormless and can't even look you in the eye or say a word when asked a straightforward question about the membership card at the till. The only cheerful person in there is Tom and he'll proactively talk to anyone about anything. That guy deserves more.
    • The person behind the till won't know about whether or not an assignment of their lease has been purchased by a company like Tesco.  Poundland was sold for a nominal fee so it's unsurprising that the location may close soon. As well, for what it's worth, someone working in the shop is likely to have their job impacted by the shop closing, so having loads of people going and asking them about the potential closing of their shop isn't really nice. "Hey, hear you'll be out of a job soon. Know much about that?" The best resource you all should be using for queries about planning details of new shops is the council's website. As was stated on the first page of this post, there's an application lodged for multiple changes at 29-35 Lordship Lane with the client as Tesco. They wouldn't lodge these plans unless it was happening, or at least extremely likely to happen.    The application is on the council's website here: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=SVW246KBKF500&activeTab=summary 
    • It's a notice about a licence, but the only name on it is Poundland.
    • What did the notice on the front door say? The planning applications currently being considered clearly refer to Tesco Stores Ltd.  The signage for above the entrance says "Tesco Express". I can't imagine the two companies combining in the same space 😉
