(OOC - just for clarity - there was a blackout every night, whether there 
was a UXB or not - it was to prevent bombers being able to spot targets. 
What the blackout meant was that every window had to be covered by heavy 
black curtains - no-one was allowed to show a light (and there were no 
street lights or anything).  But within houses, there were still lights on.

What happened here was that the lights had to be put out because the air 
raid warden alerted them that the blackout wasn't working - they were 
showing a light.  And when he came up to investigate, he found it was 
because of a tear in the blackout blinds that covered the windows, near the 
bar)
