'Leccy

I was out at an Indian's tonight and we were there waiting for our pudding, when there was a power cut. The waiters did very well and went around lighting candles. So there was light, and a PDA provided some rather crappy music. The kitchen staff had the most problems, since they couldn't see which were the ingredients etc. but they did manage to find our kulfies.

It's amazing how we become so used to electricity, and so many things have to have it nowerdays, including my beloved computers. But each time there is a powercut or some such event we seem to survive, we get out the candles, we boil kettles on the gas hob and so forth, so now all we need is a computer that doesn't run on electricity or is windup, so we can use them without mains or generator electricity.
