So lost power for 15mins, this meant I lost access to my phone line too but the power outage appeared to reduce the power to my mobile transmitter making it next to useless, I was standing upstairs with the phone hanging out the window trying to get some kind of a signal...... I never got a usable one.
So....... This digital phone line is an awesome technological advancement in technology..... Whoever came up with it should be taken outside and shat on and denied any form of internet access for life.
Anyway this is not the stress I needed when my 81 year old father just got admitted to hospital at 5am last night, so I affectively had no contact with family for an update.
