T minus 2 hours and counting
Generators in place , I'm throwing our main switch at 7.30 and locking it off . H&S first I mean how will the world survive post SHTF without it , it would be a bleak , desolate, unruly place to without H&S experts. I drift off topic
Tanks filled. 17 hours long range on 7.5 kw
6 on 2.5 kw
Wife instructed on how to refill wee one .
So Scottish Power , do your worse .
And if all fails , we'll decamp to horsebox.

Gave you a wee trial run too mate, no harm in going over these things. I think my next big purchase will be a briefcase genie, I'll need to start saving though, Her Maj would go tonto if she knew how much they cost.poppypiesdad wrote:Hardly worth it
