  Lights keep flickering where I am and a couple of street lights have given up the ghost nearby.
  
  Anybody else experiencing the same or similar?

  Lights went out all around me (but not mine) for about 20 minutes earlier. Near Buckland Bridge.
  Flickered again recently.

  I had a power cut lasted just over 3/4 hour and reading Facebook posts there seems to have been a problem of varying degrees in most of the Dover area, Guston and St Margarets.
  
  The annoying thing for us is whenever there is a cut in this area of town, we go into darkness while over the road their lights are shining brightly.

  One little blip around 6.15 but not enough to upset the clock on my cooker which is very sensitive to power interruptions.

  I suppose you based your observations on the fact that the darkness nullified the need for paper bags to be worn then Vic?
  Do nothing and nothing happens.
