World Cup Nonsense
Our power supply has failed without warning several times over the past few days, causing some concerned correspondence with our energy supplier here in Crawley. The interesting background is that that Seeboard (sp) is actually EdF, of the famed and dreadful 'Where Do they get their energy from ?' adverts which were endlessly shown during the World Cup, as warm-up for the non-analysis so cheerfully supplied by the likes of Sam Allardyce, Terry Venables and Stuart Pearce.

This massively expensive advertising campaign was apparently aimed at increasing our awareness of the brand whilst for now (at least during the Coupe Mondiale) choosing to tactfully underplay the mildly worrying fact that large parts of southeast England's energy supply are now in the hands of a part state-owned French power company, Électricité de France.


Meanwhile, in an apparently unrelated incident, frantic reports from mainland Europe indicate that the main French powerhouse inexplicably blew its main fuse at around 10.09pm last night.

'We just don't understand it,' said EdF marketing chief Monsieur J Malàlatête. 'The evening had gone so well, and then five minutes before it was time to retire .... 'Boum', our central transformer circuitry in Berlin all fused at once, with spectacularly violent results. Supply was immediately cut to all of our front channels, and the consequent loss is still being felt right across the whole of France today.'

Customers with unsaleable second-hand Renault Clios or ill-founded penalty claims of any kind are kindly advised to write to someone else.
