During the 70's and the regular powercuts due to strikes, we had a spare
car battery in the living room, along with a 12V lamp hung on the wall
and a 12V portable TV.

We'd just moved into our first house and after seeing to the
damp-proofing and the mains electrics were doing it up, room by room.
I took the opportunity to build in a 12v circuit with dual-voltage
caravan strip-light under the kitchen units and outlets for running
12v stuff off. We had a 12v B&W Indesit TV - ah: here it is:
http://tinyurl.com/d8yard9 Ours was White though.

Needless to say, once the 12v system was running sweetly, the power
cuts all stopped.

I think the Amish thinking is, "if it's not mentioned in the Bible, we
can't use it".

Nope, that doesn't explain phones in out houses, or those scooters or bikes
either.

Or gas lights either.

Leviticus quite clearly describes all engineered wood
products, although one can be flayed alive for mixing
Glu-Lam and MDF in the same building.

Too true. Maybe I should go and ask the present owners if they'll sell
me my old house back again? Or start browsing caravanning magazines
before I buy the next one.

Yeah, I just picked up a very decent hardly used at all
generator at one of the garage/yard sales for peanuts.

Bet we now wont have any power cuts at all
that last for more than a few seconds now.

That's a very acute point

I think the horse bolted after the stable door was opened.

And now he's one mare short of a nest.
Or one nest short of a mare.

Marconi let everyone go.
They no longer exist.
Some of us had the opportunity to go earlier and got 106 weeks pay to do so.

Even you can't actually be THAT stupid.

You obviously are.

We were talking about a single shared 'phone "...they'd be a lot

So, again, who should house it and how should they be chosen? Will
they mind being woken at all hours whenever someone else wants to use
the 'phone?

You see dense, if it was anything more than a crap job, you would have
told us of how you'd done this or that. As it is, you're very quiet
