The electric went off for 5 mins on Sunday night and again at 9.30 am Monday and still off when we left, would you bother asking for  some recompense or am I just in the " try owt for nowt" syndrome that seems to have gripped society ?

Answers on the back of an old £5 note please !

Cold weather (and it was cold for Easter) + fully booked + electric heaters galore = electric consumption is MASSIVE.

The consequence of that is the electric main switched trip off.....or worse still.....main fuses burn out.

You were lucky it was only off for 5 mins!!

Yes, it is inconvienient if the electric trips out, especially if you are in the middle of watching Dr Who (and oogoling Miss Pond).......but unfortunatly it does happen.

And your compensation for 5 mins of no power......about 3p !!!

We were at Keswick C & CC over Easter and on the Sunday, the electic was tripping on and off all day - hardly surprising when you could see halogen heaters on full in empty awnings!  We had one opposite us which was on 24/7, looked like it was to keep the dog warm!

It was a bit inconvenient (kept interupting Jonathon Creek!) but I wouldn't have asked for a refund!

Suppose it makes a change from all those tenters with their fan heaters
