This afternoon around 15.00 zulu, there was a power failure in Paris. EDF, the public state-owned utility comany that has a monopoly on the electricity market cut off Paris from regular power supply.
It's called: protesting against the upcoming the July 1st liberalisation of the French power market.
Whoah, we were in the middle of a videoconferencing session with US colleagues, and everything went suddenly dead: a blackout!
After reestablishing contact, scant remarks from overseas...
This could really prove to be a long hot summer.... ;-)
