As mentioned
here, EDF was out here again a couple of days ago to a call from my next-door-but-one neighbor about flickering lights and brown-outs. Apparently the house across the road has had similar problems, although I've not noticed anything more and neither has my immediate neighbor the other side.
Thinking it might be a problem on one phase, I actually spent a half hour one evening tracing all the service drops and sure enough, it emerged that the two affected houses are both on blue phase, while I'm on red.
It seems also that the engineer who came out to do the temporary lashup (I didn't get to speak to him) reported that the cable head was "quite warm," so it's looking very much like there might be a bad connection on blue phase in there.
Still no sign of the team to do the proper repair yet, but with what I know now I'll be keeping a close look at the top of that pole!
