tinabee Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 For some reason today the power keeps going off, just for a second, but enough to make the Livebox cut out and then go through its interminable reset sequence.It's happening several times an hour at the moment and it's getting on my wick [:@]What is going on? Is it the weather? (rain!) Is it the holidays? or is it just me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 We get it daily and its because here Bretagne is on the end of the national grid for France and we get the "leftovers" when everyone else has the electric first. Last winter and for many before that, EDF called for frugal use or else they would switch it off for certain numb er of hours per day and they did when the snow came in November out of the blue. It is very annoying because even my washing machine which is a technophobe nightmare with all its computers etc will let the door open full of water being cut off mid cycle and I have to keep resetting the oven clock and programmes.

Frecossais Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I think I'm getting accustomed to your humour Pachapapa. That's two allusions I've read today that I've understood.But please don't take this that you have to get even deeper, my brain couldn't take it.
