Guys we have BLACK OUT
Transcript
Guys we have BLACK OUT. I'm honestly trying my best not to freak out because there's a full fridge and freezer full of stuff that I just bought, but except there's no electric right now. Like there's blackouts everywhere. I've just called my sister, she doesn't have electric either. We live in Bolton, so yeah, I'm not sure what's happening. It's a bit too early. I mean I've got my solar powered power station, well, I don't know how to use it yet. It just arrived yesterday, so I don't know what to expect. How is your end? Blackouts. Everything is off, so yeah. Why do we have blackouts?
