Lights Out commemoration tonight

Post by Rizzo »

This hasn't been very well publicised until the last day or two, but in commemoration of the centenary of World War 1 there will be a request for people and all public buildings etc to "go dark" for an hour between 10pm and 11pm tonight, and for those at home to have just one light or candle burning.

As I shall be doing this at home, I would like you to note that I will not have the computer, tablet or any gadget on either - so any PMs or reports will not be seen or dealt with until afterwards.
