panman--IF you are on Facebook, they post the loadshedding schedule there.

Lesley--they didn't post any loadshedding schedule for the weekend, although they did post one every day last week. Did you still have outages over the weekend?

panman--just talked to JD on the phone and the generator was on at Horny Toad--although I don't see Simpson Bay listed on the loadshedding schedule yet.

That shouldn't surprise you too much. Has GEBE really followed their schedule?

Says a lot.

No outages for over the week end , but today yes and just came back on after two hours .

Lesley--thanks

hows the load shedding been recently? Especially around Cupecoy and Mullet bay?

Take a patience pill because it's on going all over the Dutch side.

Bozo--the same as everywhere else. It seems to be the same pretty much everywhere. Yesterday was THREE hours everywhere, according to the schedule. AND some places had two different three hour periods. Two hours today, apparently.

Ok thanks, doesn't seem too bad then, I'll be moving there tomorrow, so just wanted to get an idea.

Still happening but may not realize it is out especially if you're out by the pool
Last two nights at casino royal, power outage
Many slot machines do not reset automatically and casino hosts need to go from machine to machine and write down credit amount and return with credit slip

Last night my wife says we aren't coming back to casino
maybe 15 minute wait for voucher
the casino employees didn't seemed too thrilled although apologetic
