[Brighton] UK Power Networks Text Re Possible Cut to power

[Chicken Run]

Text to a mobile?

Unless they are using GPS to establish where your mobile phone currently is located, why would they assume you are reading your phone text whilst in Hove - you could be anywhere.

Ooops - unless you're in Covid tier three when everyone will be at home - yeah, right ....

I registered to receive texts a couple of years ago after a power cut in my area, as exciting as your ditty is I’m afraid to say there’s nothing sinister to report [emoji23]

We did have a power cut this morning, plenty of swearing and moaning because we thought we would miss the match.
Came back on well before kick off thankfully.

I got a text to warn me. It was a fault in an underground cable in Lawes Avenue. Thankfully it didn’t last long.

Before we moved to this house about 12 years back we lived in the next road, got regular power cuts including one on Christmas Day for at least 4 hours.
Some neighbours would have power though as the street was apparently fed by different cables.

I’m assuming they can switch to alternative cables in the interim because it was only off for 15 mins. It certainly wasn’t a dig up the road repair.

I thought so but my post code does say BN3? I thought Portslade is BN41 no?
