    I wonder if they know something we don't.

    If they start offering leisure batteries and petrol generators too I'll start to worry a bit.
    The time to start really worrying is when they do a promotion on iodine tablets.

      I think they did offer small gennies a few weeks ago.

            What an inverter generator is:



            The Iodide tablets are expected in Lidl(tm) in 3 weeks time. along with the NCB suits.

              Middle of Lidl in Honiton is now sold out of Cobalt Thorium G. I’ve just checked the one in Splott and it is too.

              Great minds think alike. Zeity would be proud of me.

                I suspect there might be a bit of a run on generators...

                  I reckon the easiest and "cheapest" solution is a decent sized class A leisure battery.

                  https://batterygroup.co.uk/batteries...e-battery-g210

                  And a true sinewave inverter

                  Approx £600 together.

                    Since I'm now only intending to power a 50W TV and a 10W LED table lamp, I'm going with a Bestek 150W inverter which plugs into the car lighter socket (£19.99 on eBay).

                    By all accounts, Bestek seem to be a decent make.

                      I hope your car is insured for fire, 150W through that, expect smoke and some flames.
