THis was on the local TV news last night:
An elderly couple who lived without electricity in their house for 37 years were finally connected on Friday.
Margaret Payne, 72, and husband Pat, 74, have lived at Folly Farm near Bury St Edmunds without a mains supply all their married life.
But their daughter and son-in-law offered to pay the £19,000 needed to install electricity.
I can't imagine living without electricity, but then I doubt any of us at ECN could!

I wonder about the £19,000 bill though. Suffolk is a mostly rural county, but this is the southern half of England where nowhere is very far from civilization. It must be
very isolated.
