Tell us: are you preparing for UK winter blackouts?

Last month, the National Grid warned that households could experience a series of three-hour power cuts this winter.

It comes amid growing fears of a national power outage if Vladimir Putin shuts off gas supplies from Russia and Britain experiences a cold snap.

We want to know how prepared people are for any potential blackouts across Britain. Have you been stockpiling candle? Do you have generators on standby? Or have you been looking for your old FM/AM radio?
