The only power cut I've experienced since I've been in the UK (8 years) was about 30 seconds long. By the time the operator had sent me an SMS about it, it was already back up. This is despite the UK's rapid transition to renewables. There was a fairly major power cut by our standards in 2019, but it didn't affect me.
Personally speaking, power cuts are so rare and short that I don't think about them or plan for them.
