has anybodies elses lights been flickering really bad this evening??

im in wallasey
and know people in tranmere, rock ferry, bebington, bromboroughs have been going mad too

just wondering if anybody knows why they would be doing this

thanks

Yes same here. In liscard. No ideas why though?

mine just have, live just between wallasey/new brighton

Maybe some of Wiki's paranormal peeps have been holding a seance!

"Is there anybody there?"...

Yes twice about 20 minutes ago.

And mine in Birkenhead, got the candles out just in case.

Just got out the Asda Bhead, carpark lights going nuts ,;-))

yep mines has been flickeriung as well.
hope you all paid your lecci bill
for got to say its in the Rock Ferry area

mines been ok and im in rock ferry

happening in pensby aswell

Not sure if it has anything to do with it but about 20 mins ago there was a huge orange flash in the sky and what sounded like an explosion 2 seconds before, seemed to be over heswall way.

Mine have been flickering quite a bit, thought it was me, seemed to be everytime I clicked the mouse, just coincidence unless I somehow have the power to control all of the lights in Wirral with my mouse.

Lol not today dude,but good shout

Not problems our end in oxton

no, just an over active imagination

The lights were flickering in our house about 45 mins ago, and our two computers switched themselves off
I'm in Egremont, Wallasey

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

Have experienced the same probs in Parkgate.

very odd indeed, same happend here in noctorum. Thought the lights might have blown agen on ford hill, this sounds alot bigger than that.

Mine are fine and I'm between Wallasey Village and Leasowe

Little Sutton last night

Ours where flickering like mad about 6 but hasnt done it for ages

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.

Prenton too, twice

yer just had to reset the phone and my hub as it went dead slow. just off the dock road wallasey

the electritcy line in heswall has fallen and caused a fire which caused the bright orange flash.. apprently there sorting it now!! quote off a friend who lives in heswall.. like u said garygadge i dont know weather that will affect all these lights all over wirral :s

Noooooo such problems here in Baghdad!!

...so, no Aliens then?

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

probably some scumbags pinching cables somewhere

Yes, I noticed it about 6.15 - 6.30 ish. PC stayed up and running though, which is usually a sign that it was only a very short outage. New Brighton.

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 ?

"Electrickery" - who are you, Catweazle?!

I looked last night but couldn't see anything on the web-sites.
