It was only last week that I said here in the forum that we in the UK will be a third world country very soon.

Now it seems that within a decade we will be having powercuts because demand will outstrip supply, and this rubbish Government have known about it for ages! They have apparently done nothing about it and deserve to get the biggest kick up the a..e if this really is the case. The people will soon be on the streets Gordon Brown! What next members, where do we go from here?

Trouble is Jason it will be upon us before you know it. So presumably that means we have to go back to the days of candles and torches? There are so many situations where a sudden powercut could affect us that it surely has to be  made a priority doesn't it? Perhaps Gordon Brown isn't bothered because he know's it won't be his problem by then! Disgusting, shameful!

I mean what if Anna was in the middle of watching 'Home and Away' and the lekky goes off.........excuse me while I go throw up will you? Oh, oh I see, you didn't know that I hate that stuff!

We need lekky for more energy saving bulbs Gordon so extract thy finger a bit quick will you?

What would your greatest inconvenience be members?

Rick, you and I do need the shoulder to shoulder thing, all the way to number 10 Dowing Street, where a certain unelected Prime Minister is simply kidding himself! Boy, we could really sort him out then......couldn't I? LOL
