Doh & Double Doh!

[2 Smokin Barrels]

We have no electrickery in this part of Nottinghamshire at present.
I wonder how long te battery on this lap top will last!?

It's amazing how scary a place even as familiar as your own home is in the dark! And it's starting to get cold, and Top Gear's on in under an hour!

Cardy, coat & double socks.

I had also best drink the contents of the fridge before it warms up!

I'm guessing the laptop's only good for an hour....so it will only be eight cans worth...not the full session

So it must be your turn on the rota for who gets the power from the turbine farms then.

As the report from the smart people at Oxford (?) pointed out earleir this week - there is always enough wind somewhere in the UK for the renewables from wind power to provide 10% of the total power need.

Of course they could be wrong. Naff all wind around here for the last 3 or 4 days iirc. But then it's not our fault you don't have any power, we don't have any windfarms.

Presumably the power companies will blame you lask of power on "Ze, rong tipe auf kold vezzer."
