Blown fuse in the hire cars ciggy socket. Don't TomToms have an
internal battery or was that flat/have very short run time.

Nah, the lighter itself worked. Yes, the TomTom has an internal battery
but must have been flat (this was a few years ago now). Not unusual as
(a) we don't use it all that often and (b) SWMBO will persist on using
it just off it's internal battery without charging it, as it's a fiddle
to plug in the cable sigh.
