And Then Blackouts...

   It could be an interesting winter if the predictions of power cuts being trumpeted by the doom media come to pass could it not?
   It’ll be interesting to see how the smartphone generation react to it. I do hope they’ll understand that it’ll just be a small taste of the world they insist we, like, get to right quick so’s to, like, save the planet, okay? Bummer eh?
   And Christmas is coming and one wonders if we’ll be bombarded with those adverts for plastic Christmas trees festooned with lecky lights? Blackouts and the cost of electrickery? Could be a bleak mid winter for the guys who sell those suckers, eh?  Another bummer eh?
   Will we see a comeback of something you oldies will remember – or is it still a thing for some? Remember the proper tree with decorations all lit up with small wax candles? Remember that? Only laboriously lit for Christmas eve, the evening of Christmas day and boxing day evening. And let’s not forget the finger warming action of nipping ‘em all out a good hour before bed to ensure they were all snuffed out good an’ proper.
   I bet that’s stirred memories for some of you of an age.
  Let’s remember that was then. Now? I imagine fire brigades throughout the country could be contemplating that idea catching on with the masses these days with, like, total, like, dread...
