The power went out at 4:30pm at the the shopping centre where I have one of my newsagencies yesterday. Thankfully, we have an uninterruptible power supply on our main computer and this enabled us to shutdown in an orderly manner. An investment of a couple of hundred dollars provides excellent insurance against this type of incident.
Regardless of the computer system you have, I’d suggest all newsagents use a quality USP – this is not something to go cheap on.
I took the photo in-store yesterday … shopping centres get dark when all the lights go out.
is there emergency lighting in the centre? we have blackouts a few times a year, and i worry about customers and staff falling over in the dark?
There was but the centre was still very dark. Except for Coles.
600+ million people in the dark in India mut have been something to behold ! Wonder if there’s a satellite picture somewhere showing the big black spot !
It will be interesting to see if we have a hot summer with power shortages as predicted. And I just can’t WAIT for my next electricity bill……
