probably some scumbags pinching cables somewhere  I always assume the worst thing to do is to assume the worst. Perhaps the cables were just tired?

Quite unusual for cables to get tired. The cables and connections are checked regularly using infra red cameras. Any physically weak points are also usually electrically weak and show up as hot spots. The photography is done by helicopter which enables very quick checking of large amounts of the network and has the flexibility to examine hot spots more closely there and then

Has anyone any idea what happened and where ? ie. Underground cable going pop or HV overhead line breaking/falling to earth. To affect such a large area (tripping breakers/flickering) it must have been a main feeder (?).
What did the electrickery company say ?
Anyone ?
