Harrow suffers 12 hour power cut

EDF Energy – which describes itself as one of the “UK’s leading energy companies” currently, er, yeah, currently, has a huge problem in Harrow.

We’re OK here at what formerly was INQ Central, although a bit miffed that it was a beautiful sunny day so we lost the chance to gain solar power money and spent four hours reading a book rather than editing our latest book.

The good news is that EDF Energy hopes to restore energy to large areas of central Harrow by first thing Tuesday morning. The bad news is that’s probably lost a lot of businesses quite a lot of money.
