Sorry, you're probably right. Although maybe if what Garygarage said is correct, it was actually down to Aliens...

It was happening here in Moreton Before as well. The power must have dropped out for at least half a second at one point. No problem for lights but not good for desktop pcs or other sensitive electronic devices.

Two flickers in Greasby, just enough to knock the radio onto standby but not confuse the microwave clock. Wonder what brought the electricity line down in Heswall? Hope no-one was hurt.

I was told it made the till restart in our place, shouldn't have done, must have been a hell of a jolt, have to check the UPS when I go in and see why it didn't take over.

No doubt tomorrow will be a busy day for blown PSU's
