    Just konked out. Seems everywhere is out as far as the other side of Birmingham. I wonder if the natinal grid has been hacked again like it was when London went down.

    Yeah, they have a new system that's controlled over the Internet, someone caught onto this and played around a little. The first thing they did was to change all the clocks. :hehe: Oldest hack in the book but a good one.
