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.

    • Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.
    • Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/
    • CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
