North London really isn't having fun when it comes to Christmas power. In addition to the 1,000 homes in East Barnet who lost gas (and later, electricity) on 20 December - around 100 of which are still cut off - 2,715 homes in West Finchley lost electricity this morning. Half were back on within a few hours, but the rest are still waiting. Given Londonist's own experiences with EDF during this bloody chilly spell - our street had two power cuts last Monday - we wish West Finchleans the best of British and add 'basic utilities' to the list of things that take forever to sort out when the weather gets bad.
