Having limits on how many appliances you can have on at a time does make you think about leaving things on standby, etc. But it can be very irritating. Thanks, Lady M. I rather think I would! I hope the dams get filled over there, Lee. Any chance they will be, do you think? Jmb - yes, or the British. True, it happens elsewhere. It's just when the Italians get planned and organised, you know, that makes you even more worried! Yes, I suppose we do get warnings, Mutley- only not always.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-22268123084998938562007-07-04T11:53:00.000+02:002007-07-04T11:53:00.000+02:00I just get random power outages here Ms Limoncello...I just get random power outages here Ms Limoncello... so you can be thankful you have a get a warn....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-54105013871698085162007-07-04T05:05:00.000+02:002007-07-04T05:05:00.000+02:00Because it is run by the Italians and not the Germ...Because it is run by the Italians and not the Germans?<BR/>To be fair they have brownouts in New York too when everyone turns on their air conditioning.jmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-82758704604016125332007-07-04T04:20:00.000+02:002007-07-04T04:20:00.000+02:00Bo!

No more than in the rest of Italy! You ...Hi, Deli. No more than in the rest of Italy! You may well ask, as I do, why a modern country which is hardly poor in natural resources makes such hard work of providing electricity and water, but it does. Most homes have 3kw of electricity, so you have to watch how many appliances you have on at a time and there are limits as to when and for how long you can have your central heating on in winter. We are being told that it's all to save energy but I think it's more to do with inefficiency! To be fair, though, it didn't use to get this hot, even in Sicily, and the system just wasn't built to cope with nearly everyone having an air conditioner - or several.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-74656897487244822982007-07-03T20:18:00.000+02:002007-07-03T20:18:00.000+02:00Is there an electricity shortage in Sicily?
