Where we live the local authority did some essential electrical maintence work & checking, was free BTW. I spoke to some of the guys whilst in our street, they told me they start at 7am I told them to come to ours as early as they liked, get it over so we could all continue our day. They were pleased and said neighbours told them same, knocked on their door at 10:30am, they answered in pyjamas "we didn't mean this freaking early !". Fun fact: last time it snowed local kids were rolling around a big ball of snow, thought they'd build them a snowman. Nope, on returning from work they'd piled up the snow into a wall, all around the local moaning, miserable bar-steward's (not his job !) car (Honda 2.0l saloon) as he'd told them NOT to build a snowman. Until he moved, he had that effect on people....
