POWER CUTS                SUNDAY 21ST MARCH

I'm so sorry for the customers who came in for their Sunday breakfast, only to smell the bacon cooking and POW, powercut.  No electricity to operate the extractor which makes the gas work to finish cooking the bacon.  DISASTER.  We are fortunate to have a glass roof, so we can at least see what we suddenly can't do.  No hot drinks, no hot food, no card machine.  Still in the usual Burdfield way, we managed to produce sandwiches and salads for those wanting lunch, washed down with beer or wine or water.  We were able to serve customers with bread and milk and vegetables from the shop.  The tills weren't working, but those of us who can add up, did.

The electricity did come back on just as we were closing the shop at 4 o'clock only to go off again a couple of times during the night apparently.  Next day a large hole appeared outside the China Brasserie, so let's hope something is going to be done!
