no electricity

what one comfort would you mostly miss in your house if the electricity was to go? I am indecided over heating and pc...

 

Got no electric in the caravan, sort of got used to it. Got candles, gas cooker, barbeque.

I'd miss GC if I didn't have any leccy at all though.

 

PC and the internet for sure.
Although we have a generator that can power essentials. (freezer/fridge/cooker)

 

I have 2 aquariums, how would my poor fish survive without filters & heating? I would miss my PC the most and my electric blanket!!!!!!!

Got a generator + propane appliances for when the electric goes off or going away, mobile broadband dongle for when the landline hub cuts out and a woodpile outside the back door.

 

It's all electrickery to me....folk managed before so we'd manage again.......i used to love power cuts as a kid....so exciting

 

If the electricity went off this minute it would be the Sausage Casserole I've just put in the oven.

 

Mine has to be PC but I have a bearded dragon who require leccy to survive. But if there was no leccy I'd have wasted my training

 

I wouldnt miss a thing. It would be a fressh start for everyone, no debt etc excuse me mr smith you owe us this much money....erm no i dont check your computer records.....oh wait you cant looks like i owe you nothing.....life would go back to simplicity! I know im not that old but i remember a time when our whole lives werent dependant upon electrical ggizmo's and people like my grandad earnt a living fixing proper tv's and washi.g machines when they werent only dessignedd to last 5 minutes. i usedd to love the damp morning when the tv would sligghtly crackle with static and lassy. Making a toy out of a cardboard box.!!

 

Make the most of your leisure time, because all that would vanish if we had no electric.

Farmers would have to work 7 days a week, every hour of daylight again, as no power means no means of pumping oil or producing diesel to fuel the machinery so no more ploughing/seeding/harvesting 100 acres per day. No more computers showing you satellite images of your land so you know the optimum time to harvest, so lower yields per acre. All this means food goes back to being very expensive so ordinary folk go back to having to be geniuses at the art thrift.

But worse. Worst of all. Almost unimaginable. I can barely bring myself to mention it. How would you keep your beer cool without power to work your fridge?

 

Darn it Clueless - beat me to it! (says he with a can of cold Premier by his side)

 

You'd have to build yourself one of these, or would that be dig yourself one of these!
