Glad you`re up and running again. I was a bit scared last night as the winds were getting stronger and louder, but all`s well today, thank goodness.

Aye JD - mum phoned the electricity company this morning and was told there were multiple faults in Carradale and that they were hoping to get a generator on site this morning.

So as you, sounds like they were speaking nonsense

I was told the same story about the generator,but on speaking to the chaps on scene today there was none available.
Luckily with their good work most or all of the village is back to normal,except around the Mains Farm were they are still working tonight repairing that area.
I saw on the news tonight that Scottish Power may be paying out compensation to anyone who was without power for 48 hours or more and will be getting in touch with all concerned.Most folks will have lost some or all of their freezer contents and any payment will be welcome :) .
It has been the worst damage to the system in 30 years.Hope the weather is a little kinder for the chaps to get all else connected up.

Yeah - the engineers across the country should be applauded for their hard work getting power restored.

Actually, saying that just looked out the window and the street lights at Woodside are off - ach well got power in the house - who cares lol.

Aye saw that on the news tonight too about the compensation - so we'll see what happens with that.
