Oliver Neighbourly Lead from One Tree Point

Dear neighbours, please take a look at Countdown, TED's action plan for everyone, including Neighbourly members, and in case you agreed with the idea, it'd be great if you could spread the word, and maybe even sign up yourselves. Many thanks!

That city wide power cut ...

Peter from Kamo

Can anyone recall on what day we had the city wide power cut? It would appear that there was a surge connected to that: first the chlorine generator for my swimming pool packed a sad, then my computer's power supply literally exploded with a loud bang and a cloud of smoke and then our water … View moreCan anyone recall on what day we had the city wide power cut? It would appear that there was a surge connected to that: first the chlorine generator for my swimming pool packed a sad, then my computer's power supply literally exploded with a loud bang and a cloud of smoke and then our water pump died as well, due to a melted capacitor in the motor. All within 3-4 days.
The water pump repair man related that one of his air conditioning units and one computer there died also.

So it's time for an insurance claim, I think. But I cannot for the life of me remember which exact day the power outage happened.
Can anyone jog my memory, please?
