    London power out

    http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0...101931,00.html

    Sounds like A/Cs running constantly on an outdated power grid aren't such a great idea.

    edit: and remember kiddies, as was pointed out to me a few weeks ago, this sort of thing is only supposed to happen to the US!

    1. I was referring to Europe and not the Island that still tries to be something special.

    2. Partial power loss at a few subway stations is something completely different from what happened in the US. If London was a US city, probably the entire city would have gone "offline" - and still be. hee

    275,000 people were affected in "partial power loss at a few subway stations"?

    Anyways, the power's back on now. Just wanted to say it's not like summer peak blackouts are only a US problem.
