DOOM: Dying Lights

[NigelJK]

Now where can I source a leisure battery locally, that's the question. .

Nearest narrowboat chandlers.

People are getting:

• thermal underwear
• blankets
• camping lights
• oodies
• onesies
• camping stoves

Sensible cost-saving measures too. A little paraffin stove/lamp seems better than a candle to me, though a battery back can power LEDs for days.

I bet my stove fitter is busy.

On a serious not, check your house insurance. Paraffin stoves, oil lamps, portable gas stoves and alike may invalidated the insurance.

The nearest of which emporiums is just a tad* further away than the Halfords that I cross over two canals to reach.

*As in in a different country.


Just been reading more glorious good news about prospective power cuts in January & February in the event that "it gets cold".

The advice is if you live with children, vulnerable people e.g. mobile, use skin emulsifiers, and/or pets e.g cats,dogs not to use candles, paraffin stoves, oil lamps, portable gas stoves and alike unless you want to risk a house fire and/or burns to them.

Or you could learn how to use them responsibly like everyone did until the 1930s. What a pampered hopeless lot we are.

According to the Grauniad, the BBC are preparing emergency scripts in case there are power cuts lasting from 36 to 48 hours.

Maybe I need two leisure batteries. .

I wonder if Lidl(tm) still have those inverters in stock.

[DealorNoDeal]

...leisure batteries...

eBay may be worth a look.

eBay may be worth a look.

Got mine half the price of Halfords and with a 4yr guarantee, very happy with it so bought two more batteries.

There's a thought. How long do cats burn for?
