Hell, that would great. Have you ever actually had to live more than a few hours without electricity? It is great. You have no TV, music, or video games. You get to fill your time with other things you like. reading during daylight hours, stay outside for hours, do productive things. I loved the time without electricity. Got to live on candle light, oil lamps, and the fire place, with BBQ every night. It was Just the best time ever. I think I would be rather good at it. AH, hurricane season on th NC coast.

Hmmmm, tricky question. Would be quite nice really - the pace of life would really slow down - might be an enjoyable change. But then would be hard to go back after having so much that does rely on electricity and gas.
I think i might be contacting an Amish (dont think that is spelt right!) society though for some handy hints and tips!!

Go back to living as I did when a boy. I'd miss a few things for a while, but life back then was pretty good as I remember. Sadly I'm too old now to ride a bicycle or walk for many miles as I did then - but I've had a full enough life to know lots of things to do with my time. Maybe I could spend some of it teaching others the tricks of the simple life. It's the ones who, with all the experiences available to them now, complain of life being boring, that I feel sorry for. They've never learned to use their brains, or their hands, or see what's at their feet.

I'd be trying to work out what to do with all the then useless electrical appliances: microwave, tv, dvd/video player, cassette/radio, computer, printer, modem, digital camera (can't upload pics to computer to print), mobile phone (can't recharge it), table lamps, electric blanket, fan, electric fire, electric kettle, toaster, central heating boiler, answering machine, fridge freezer, washing machine, dish washer, vacuum cleaner, electric drill, electric lawnmower, hair dryer, etc. etc.

Panic big time and hope there are candles left in the shops and enough bits of wood to burn.

Start using wood and candles, I suppose.

We would have to resort to kerosene lamps and fireplaces again.

Read up on what they did in the frontier days, and do that.
