Brixton chitter-chatter & news Jan 2012

Brief power cut in Hayter Rd, Branksome Rd - alarms going off - now back on.

Woah, the whole street just lost power for a couple of minutes there. Anyone else have an outage? Hah, Winot! Did you get the candles out?

Way ahead of you. Had one last week

 

[TruXta]

No - just the iPad!

Mobile phone for me, then as I lit the candles it came back on. And now the fucking housealarms are going off like crazy down the road. Fucking hope they'll shut off before I go to bed.

Beer by Ferrian Adria (he of El Bulli). Brewed to drink with food. Amazing stuff.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

I had a flicker down here by St Matthew's.

And another longer flicker just now.

The lights keep flickering here. Tis most spooky

 

[TruXta]

And one more!

 

[ash]

Out for 5-10 mins ferndale rd

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Yup, had two here on Moorlands Estate first one at 10:35, second a minute ago.

 

[TruXta]

Funnily enough that last outage killed the house alarms that were going off.

 

[story]

We've also had a young fox skreeching it's head off down the road.

Coincidence? Or....

 

[colacubes]

Weird. This is a big old power problem by the sound of it

 

[TruXta]

Weird. This is a big old power problem by the sound of it

Yeah, never had one this big as long as I've been here.

 

[colacubes]

We had two 12 hour ones last Christmas but it was a really isolated problem in the market. This sounds like it covers half of Brixton!

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Yeah, power cuts are usually very local, this one has quite a spread.

 

[TruXta]

By the looks of things there's been a wave of power-cuts going SE to SW over the last hour or two. Weird. Clapham Junctionites reporting it now too.

 

[TruXta]

Apparently went up the hill as far as Blenheim Gardens too.

I see you on Twitter now, little bird.

The one we had last week (I think it was last week) on Brixton Hill is normally localised, but Greebo said she had one at the same time, so that's quite spread out

eta: Oh, it was on the 6th

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Very Tall Lodger has seen summat online about it being connected with the Tube.

 

[colacubes]

I see you on Twitter now, little bird.

Ooh, who you are on twitter? Follow me so I can stalk you

Don't they have a separate supply?

 

[TruXta]

Nah, am not, was just searching for Brixton there. I can't be on Twitter, I'm already wasting all my time here.

That's even weirder considering my power has remained on all this time

I get ya.

Dunno where he saw that, he was alone and palely googling.

 

[quimcunx]

I have been unaffected up from/south of Blenheim gardens.

 

[Orang Utan]

Lights flickering here in Camberwell too!

 

[colacubes]

Aliens. Only explanation.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

someone on Twatter says it's more widespread than Brixton

MobileAndyB Andy Burgess

Sounds like the #powercut is spreading from the east. Rotherhithe -> Peckham -> Brixton -> Clapham -> Battersea. Where is next?

I have been unaffected up from/south of Blenheim gardens.

Separate part of the grid. If Blenheim goes, we're still on
