Me and the old man dug in and watched old movies...bliss. I LOVED the 70's power cuts...the initial horror of no telly was quickly replaced by excitement about finding candles in the dark and playing cards with the family...i can still hear the groan when the lights came back on.

We all hovered around the phone on both mornings and hissed "yessssssssss" when they told us school was closed again! Efficiency obsession is a scary thing, I even see it at school where there are all these expectations and pressures even at 6!! Obviously there wasn't a collective "hurray" when the bin men went on strike....but you know what I mean?! Baths by candlelight are one of my fondest childhood memories!
