A place where I get to rant, rave and point out the seemingly obvious, but which I'm constantly amazed to find is not as crystal clear to others. Guess the old saying about there being no single objective reality is true after all!

Ain't got the power

Guy I work with has been having a lot of power outages where he lives in North Riding/Bryanston. He got in this morning, having had another one. He says he got really angry and sat on the phone to City Power until they finally put him through to a "manager". Who flatly told him that they need to do an upgrade in the area, which will take about 2 years, and that residents can expect power cuts roughly every 2 weeks until then.

Still haven't seen lights on William Nicol (just after the Hyde Park split) since December last year!

And no streetlights where I live for 3 months now.

Well at least the last person to leave won't have to.... you know.
