Talking about light bulbs, is anyone using those ridiculous energy bulbs. They are hopeless . Also I cannot find any shops selling 100watt bulbs, Please dont start on about saving energy, etc etc. Maybe i,ll take notice when they turn all the lights out on public buildings,bridges, castles,Houses of Parliment, you get the picture. Also does anyone else hate those new dazzling car lights,another bad idea.
Our lights in the kitchen go a bit weird when the weather gets cold (something to do with condensation in the space between ceiling and roof) and this then causes other appliances to "spark" (apologies for the non technical terms). Could this be the problem for you, Goodliz?

We have had flickering lights since the powercuts that took place late last year (when certain roads would go without electricity, but others were fine) - but I get such varying excuses from the electricity company; it really does depend on who answers the phone.


Has anyone else called to report problems? If so, was a valid excuse given?

Last week I asked council officers to contact EDF Energy Networks about the variable electricity supply they are providing for SE22. I don't know how long it will take to get a response or how helpful it will be.


However, it is worth pointing out that EDF Energy Networks is licensed by Ofgem. When you have any problems you should report them to EDF customerr services 0800 028 0247. The more problems are reported the more likely they are to put effort into fixing them.


Ofgem have created Guaranteed Standard of Performance Regulations - 18+ hours you can claim ?50, every extra 12 hours ?25. Not much comfort if you go without electricity.


If your not happy tell EDF. If you're still not happy then contact Ofgem.

    • Do check out changing at Lille if it's possible, as is much easier than changing stations in Paris.  I did London to Montpellier changing at Lille which was very straightforward but it was a little while ago.
    • We go to the South of France by train most summers.   It is pretty easy and you get to arrive right in the centre of the city.  TGVs are generally efficient, reliable and comfortable. Unfortunately the direct London to Marseille Eurostar train seems to have been a  victim of Brexit so you have to change in Paris - most South bound service go from  Gare de Lyon - about a 15 min RER rise from Gare du Nord. Allow plenty of time travelling back from Gare du Nord, it always was horrid but has reach new levels of chaos since Brexit. I would recommend, at least for the home leg, booking the entire journey through Eurostar. That way if your French train is delayed or cancelled and you miss your Eurostar connection back to London,  Eurostar will get you on to a different train home. As for destinations - there is a lot of the South of Fra.ce to choose from.  What are you looking for?     Also Ouigo trains can be a cheaper option than TGVs, but watch out you have to pay extra for things like luggage and seat reservations.  Also they sometimes stop at TGV stations outside the city centre.
    • Do what I do and stick some of these folk on your ignore list.  It's great fun, they just rant away and you will be totally oblivious to it.
