    I thought it was gas board related (they are doing a lot of digging in the Upper Ballytruckle road area) but I wouldn't know one helicopter from another.

    Are they to blame for the current (he he) lack of electricity in the Cherrymount area then I wonder?

    It could be checking out some well known sites around those areas for the missing hurdles? They have to do a certain amount of air time every week so maybe they're trying to help out - long shot but you never know.

    I'm in johns park and our electricity went off there for about 45 mins but its back on again now..is it due to be off again throughout the day does anyone know? i got no notification that it was to be off..neither did the shops or the schools..there was panic in the shop when i was in there a while ago with all the fridges etc off and the principal of the school was in buying batteries

    no idea about johns park, all i know is our power was to be off and we usually loose power when the airport does even though avondale would still have it, that may have changed though with the newer estates around these days

    WLR story said power was off in the Grange area affecting 1500 houses and would be back by 1 pm (back rather quicker as said above) there was no mention of further cuts.
