The long dark tea-time of the soul

Can you be plunged into darkness at a quarter to three in the afternoon? Rather self-referentially, the BBC reports:

Much of BBC Scotland's headquarters in Glasgow was plunged into darkness on Sunday following a power cut.
Areas affected by loss of electricity, for three and a half hours, included the newsroom and some of the main studios, leaving them out of action.
Sports staff shared their computers with TV, radio and news website staff while producers worked via torchlight from the Queen Margaret Drive newsroom.
A Scottish Power spokesman said the cause was likely to be a faulty cable.
The power went off at about 1445 GMT, coming back on at about 1815 GMT.

The sad thing is that nobody noticed and fewer cared.
