How utterly ridiculous  :o

keeping the national grid stable is hard at the best of times .

I'm glad i have whole house surge protection and local SPDs

I can see a lot of expensive toys letting their smoke out if this "big power switch off" happens  ::)

I shall make a point of turning everything on, including the car.

I believe the LSSB heard about it from The Berkshire Herald, or some such rag, so it must be true ;D

Everything is usually off here by 10 anyway  ;D
If they wanted to make a point, it should have been 6 o'clock, on a Friday.

I'm going to turn everything on, thus negating at least two properties that switch everything off  :)

Quick question...

If everything is turned off, how will they get updates and how will they know when it's 10:10 ???

They won't be able to wait until 10:10, they'll be wetting themselves in anticipation of all the self congratulatory tweeting, thus using all the power they saved between 10:00 and.......10:03?  :-\

Also, if I were to go around the house turning everything off, it would be time to turn it on again before I'd finished.

without SPDs ,anyone leaving stuff on or turning extra stuff on leaves their equipment at risk from power surges  ::)

Haven't turned any lights on today so far, so hopefully that makes up for not taking part in last nights bullshit.

That will be some stupid, uninformed idiot from arsebook trying to get 15mins of fame.

Energy companies wouldn't even notice.  Businesses aren't going to turn off their furnaces, because it will cost a fortune to restart them, in addition to a few days of lost production.  And the industry that uses over half of the electricity generated globally - bit barns - won't shut down.


Trouble is, Facebook is full of only idiots.
