  • Thanks all for your replies looking at the dynamic demand meter is a little misleading as it looks like the frequency is closer to the lower limit than it really is  49.5 to 49.7 cycles is only a tiny bit of movement which makes it look like things are worse than they are. I agree that newspapers seem to say that we're all doomed to sitting in the dark each winter which hasn't happened yet except when there's been a major fault somwhere  and that's rare of course dramatic headlines sell help them sell these daily rags  so that's that
