Why waste the gas. There are a lot of jails here where if you time it right, you can walk right out the front door.

Is this person a career criminal? So much so, that you fear they are in jail?

You're dating Hillary?
Wait, I'm confused. 
Well, I see the lounge has gone off on the typical HILARIOUS tangent, but no, you cannot get in trouble for inquiring about someone. I'm sure there are more than just the State of NY's incarceration web site to help you out. Enable your google fu.

HELL YEAH!!! I'm an ex drummer myself
Drumming is cool, having to tear down, move, set up and tear down your set every time is not cool.
Haven't touched a drum set in about four years I guess.

I got a UPS for Christmas, and it's all been fine.
But since I got it set up, we've had no power cuts. Which is kinda disappointing really, since the whole idea was to be able to survive them.
Then ... it got windy last night - not horribly, but about 60mph. And we had a number of small powercuts! Yay!.
And all the kit the UPS was protecting was turned off, because I was asleep.

Just curious, but unless you have a web server containing one or more extremely important sites, what could you possibly have as a private individual that is so important that you need to protect it with an OOPS??? Especially since you apparently turn it off when you're not using it anyway?
(Yeah, yeah, I know - with an attitude like that, I ought to be the President of IBM )
[EDIT] I KNOW, I KNOW!!! When you're writing an important email to your MIL, you don't want to risk a power cut that shuts down everything so that you have to start all over. Now I get it...  [/EDIT]

What do you have on your work PC that you wouldn't mind if the power failed?
It's not essential - it's just that I'd like the chance to shutdown gracefully, and save my work. Plus SSD's don't like sudden power failures either, apparently: The mysteriously disappearing drive: Are power outages killing your SSDs? - ExtremeTech[^]
And there is the NAS as well - I'd like to be able to do an orderly shut down on that as well.
The UPS also conditions the line, so overvoltage spikes are mitigated as well.

I get it, I guess I just don't see it as important enough to invest a lot of money in a UPS. Especially since we have power outages around once every year or even every other year here in Sweden (don't know how it is in the UK?). Guess I would feel different if I lived in say India where there are power outages several times a day... What can I say? I'm a cheap b*stard...

It's not that expensive, and if it saves hardware (SSD), data (NAS in RAID5), and work then it pays for itself. I hate re-doing work if I don't have to.

Oh, and I may have misinformed you: the UPS was switched on, but all the kit connected to it (except the broadband / WiFi router) was turned off for the night.

No no, I got that from your OP. Hence why I didn't understand your need for it...

Even though the thread's old:
I have a UPS's on my systems - they're about $40-50/each - about 15 minutes worth if the desktop, monitors, and stuff are on. At all times it keeps the modem and router running. I've had it this way for literally decades.
When that power 'blinks' - like during a severe electrical storm (or some idiot hits a light pole with his/her SUV) - it keeps my system from being given a rather sudden and unpleasant kick in the groin (reboot or shutdown, depending upon the length).
And when the power really goes out? It give you time to gracefully shut down and wait for it to be fixed. Not often - but like most insurance - and it is insurance - you really don't want to use it (at best, you break even by not losing anything). My kids new the rules, too, and understood that when the battery's drained the system shuts down - so get out while you can.
When a big old tree gets knocked down across the power lines (from snow and ice or summer thunder storms) - it doesn't matter how reliable the power company is when the lines are no longer connected to where you live.
However - if the work you do is of little or no value . . .
