Well, I don't know who reads this, and if you have noticed I've not been around for a few weeks, but a catalogue of problems have led to me not being able to use a computer. Firsty, My powerpack on my PC went out, and well it's amazing how hard it is to find a replacement in this day and age. And the irony of it all, it was caused by a power SURGE!!! In a time when power and oil is at a premium we're having power surges which knocked out the power for a fair few hours in our area. Also last Wednesday morning I was out on a little bike ride, minding my own business keeping up my energy (It's amazing how much I've got done with my internet being down, but I'll tell you that later on) when I see a "lovely" black plume on the horizon, so a few hours peddlaing later I happen upon this. I've got a game for you, remember from me first seeing this, until me taking this photo was a few hours and now the question: Where are the firemen? ![]() Is that one behind the tree? Nope! Oh oh oh under the sign, no not there either. 2 hours and not a single emergency service, hell not even anyone else paying attention like me. Is this what society in the UK has come too? Everyone for themselves? It's a very sorry sight indeed, and one that's becoming ever frequent. Life surrounding a city isn't the nicest normally and now in this shock it's getting alot worse. I wish I had taken RockLobsters approach and ran to the hills when I had a chance. As for the rest of MK, well fuel is knocking at £1.75 a litre and queues are getting longer and stations with fuel are getting less. It looks like BP are closing alot of their stations around here, I guess keeping a few full is better than a few empty, when WILL people learn? 9 weeks in and people are still using cars and talking about summer holidays like this will just blow over. Check out my next blog for what I've been up to over the past few weeks. Michael in MK x
