That's great. So long as they actively rotate the fuel every few months & don't leave it for a year (like a stupid data centre I checked) that should work. They do actually test in in live use every 3 months or so?

Really? Things have changed since my day. Good to know! I trust that they have more than 24 hours of fuel for them now too?

Definitely although as you say, only for essential services

Not many in the UK although some in Spain definitely did. They would need to be very large for the average supermarket & a large fuel supply would also be needed. In my time working for major retailers the only places with that sort of provision I knew of were data centres

If you send a letter to your local Petrol Enforcement Agency you can store up to 275 litres

In fairness I have not yet encountered a better power bank in terms of ruggedness

You're not wrong Tony I was recently sent a panel to test that is "lightweight & folding" Compact Folded Size of Just 41.3*20.9*2.5 inch Lightweight Design, Weighing Only 40.78 lbs 41" long folded & 40 pounds in weight :oops:

I have to say I liked the Anderson plugs. Easier to connect & disconnect & twin wire. Trouble is nearly every power station uses MC4. As you say, Betamax was better but every video store had mostly VHS! I believe the designs & specs are Brian's own but I'm sure the components are common

Best pork in Britain. Bar none. https://www.thedecentcompany.co.uk/

Try Zing Asia. Best value king prawns in the country. Rubbish website but worth the effort for really interesting ingredients https://www.zing-asia.co.uk/

After we did all our homestead solar setup, I was recently contacted by a chap called Brian Shingleton who owns Nagonic Designs. Think Trevor Bayliss meets Professor Proton ;). Anyway Brian is an engineer who designs solar systems for mobile use - camping, van life, narrow boats etc. You can see...

I have both. This one was recommended to me by "Frosty the Butcher" & Scott Rea (check out his YouTube channel for all things home butchery). I find the curved better for skinning but long and straight better for boning out

Depends on what we are butchering. A small filleting knife & poultry shears for birds. Same filleting knife for small game. For larger game I use a Victorinox semi flexible boning knife for basic skinning https://amzn.to/3GEfkQI I use a large butchers knife for cutting steaks etc...

Incredible cast. Why Val Kilmer didn't get an Oscar for his portrayal of Doc Holiday I will never understand. It's on Disney+ currently (which is free with Tesco clubcard points)

The Committments (truly a masterpiece of music) The Unforgiven (second best Western ever made) Tombstone (best Western ever made) Forest Gump (genuine pathos & laugh out loud funny. Tom Hanks at his finest) Snatch (Guy Ritchies best) Jaws (best creature feature) The Holiday (genuinely good...

I didn't write the law, but rats don't range very far (sub 100 yards if food & water are abundant)

That is unfortunately wrong for all traditional poisons. All SGARs (second generation anticoagulant rodenticides) are bioaccumulative (they do cause secondary poisoning), hence why they are now banned for open air use. At one point 94% of Barn Owls & 100% of kestrels had consumed poisoned prey...

Should be good for a year although quarterly discharge & recharge is suggested

They have although they are available at higher prices elsewhere. They get them in periodically

Both. We both have high end phones with excellent cameras but for writing articles, an SLR on a tripod with lenses from fish eye to telephoto are better. Go Pros, Ring Cameras, phones SLRs and specialist coop cameras all come in to play for YouTube.
