It’s a candlelit takeaway

Wednesday 7th April 2010, 5:59PM BST.

Hungry customers were served by candlelight when the power failed at a Dudley takeaway.

The Gornal Dynasty Chinese takeaway in Kent Street, Upper Gornal, was without electricity but it was still business as usual as staff set up candles and continued cooking on gas.

It was one of only two properties affected by the blackout, at around 8.30pm yesterday.

Central Networks were called but workers smelled gas and had to call National Grid engineers in.
