(Deon) Posted January 22, 2015 Share Prepper? But all with good reason I'd say ...ha ha, yes I am also guilty of prepper bashing. But hell, the yanks really do take it to another level! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko35s Posted January 22, 2015 Share Where's Capricorn? He crapped on me, and said I was talking rubbish, some time ago for suggesting that Eskom was useless and he maintains they are a sterling organisation with great, hard working highly skilled people (he didn't mention very well paid). We should be praising them for supplying what power we are lucky enough to get. I'm sure there are these type of people there (like at SANRAL) but they do not seem to be making any discernible improvement for whatever reason.I also remember him saying something along the lines of "watch out for Feb/March, that's when it will be a real mess" and so far he appears to be right on the money.

I am not looking forward to loadshedding in winter... bye bye 44kva's worth of underfloor heating... Do you have a transfer switch installed, or are you planning to do the switching all manually?

Tumbleweed Posted February 6, 2015 Share We shouldn't mock Eskom. At least the power utility performs better than Bafana Bafana, who have no difficulty getting past stage 1. gummibear, (Deon), Lurch the stalker and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted November 30, 2018 Share Yippee ki freakin yay. Was busy on my PC when the power went out yesterday in Centurion. Was a bit of a call back to reality. Suddenly remembered about things like UPS systems again... Here in Cape Town, we had it yesterday, and now again. We should secede from the Republic, and form a new separate nation called Cape Province, then we keep Koeberg, and sell excess power to South Africa. Visas to enter the Cape Province are only valid for 3 days at a time, and we don't allow day visitors. Allrounder and Wannabe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
