Letters / Self-congratulatory
I WAS delighted to read the Hydro’s self-congratulatory little piece in the Shetland News on Friday morning (Ready for winter; SN, 07/11/14) particularly because South Unst was subjected to an eight-hour power cut in flat calm weather conditions from just after midnight to just before 9am on that very morning.
I wonder if whoever runs the Hydro is aware of just how aggravating such an open-ended occurrence can be; and just how insolent and inconsiderate it makes the Hydro look when the incident wasn’t even reported on the local radio station during its currency?
Has he any idea at all how pensioners out at Uyeasound and Clivocast would feel, on waking up to an icy house where the storage radiators had gone cold unaccountably, and then on discovering that their fridges and freezers were defrosting, and that not even the lights worked? Has he?
I wonder…
