Well the power cut started at 0910 local time - that p****d off the the local bar owner who was looking to pay off his holiday debts having just returned from Japan :)
So everybody left the bar and went home. 4G Hotspot set up, watched on Tablet, faultless feed from ITV Hub without any geo-restriction which surprised me. Worth watching to see the French expressions by the end. The red-carded individual will have lost some friends.
However the batteries were fading by the next game - and needless to say the battery packs were nearly flat. The only way to watch anything was to go to the car to charge the phone. Global warming - eat your heart out.
2 hours of torrential rain avoided - I could not have got back from the bar it was so heavy.
Power not back to us until 16.00.
