Po333ty aswell it’s back on now but no internet!
Our dishwasher is stuck in cycle now.
Why why why when they fix previous problems they don’t do it properly very run down company
SSEN up to their old tricks again cutting power whenever and wherever they feel like it disgraceful service and it will only get worse until they are brought to account for it
People will vote us down with our comments but people don’t know how inexperienced work force are
SSEN says it supplies electricity to 3.7 million properties unfortunately its not all at the same time
Power cuts seem to be happening more frequently now, and it isn’t even windy today!
At least we can rest assured that when the hundreds of new houses are built, this power outage issue will be sorted!
It’s a bit like hoping Boris will get a decent haircut
Done on the cheap, always has been, always will be. It’s the British way.
It doesn’t surprise me with the amount of power cuts we get on the island, everywhere you go seems to have the roads dug up, and no-one working once the holes have been dug.
If your lucky, you may see one or two workmen sat in vans or trucks eating crap food and reading the gutter press..
I was two thirds of the way through boiling the kettle for my flask when the power went this morning.
First power cut I’ve had for many many years, I think they do okay.
Having gas as well is a good thing, you can still have a hot drink…
Many will be growing in lofts, shed, garages and basements and on cold days draw a massive amount of energy.
Note we are never told WHY the power was cut.
Imagine the problem when thousands more homes are built.
Vote this lot out next time we are ‘allowed’ to use a ballot box.
What is the matter with you people over there on the IOW. You should be grateful to the SSEN staff for their swift response when faults occur. It seems to me that Steve and Old Bean etc are ex electricity workers who didn’t make the grade or were part of the massive clear out of ‘dead wood’ following privatisation. Probably the latter. Get that chip off your shoulders.
If only
Worst thing that ever happened was privatisation cos all the best people left and were replaced by inexperienced workers and they have never recovered
As you are not on the Island why do you keep commenting on things that don’t concern your standard of living. Maybe it’s because you want to live here but can’t
Well said The Oracle, certainly Steve and Old Bean have some sort of issue with SSE, I personally think they do a grand job. They clearly don’t remember the amount of power cuts during the years of nationalisation.
Its a shame they’re allowed to rubbish a perfectly good company without any substance to their stupid comments !
Everytime I drive past these workers I always think what a wonderful hard working work force they are! The men that work on the poles are incredibly brave! There lunches can’t be that bad as there in great shape!
If a wire breaks in your house a light goes out, if a wire breaks on the 11000v network – thousands of lights go out. Get used to it – stuff breaks.
We could always heat your homes with the hot air from steves totally uneducated mouth.
I take it you work for sse are you the tea boy the person that stands on back of van doing nothing by any chance
