I have some too but only in the upstairs toillet and down the cellar steps. Mine are for convenience not decorative.

I don't have to turn on the main lights for night visits and the bathroom is next to my bedroom so I only have one upstairs which is under one ot the two medicine cabinets.

There are shelves down the cellar steps and a cabinet at the bottom where I keep fruit stocks with just a few pieces upstairs. I have a carrier bag hanging under an upstairs shelf as a short term store for recycling.

My lights came from Ali Express which was around before Temu I think and I've used for donkey's years. I image they are pretty much the same.

Love it !

I'm pretty sure I've got a little flat camping stove and some gas bottles. I'd have to eat a can of something first as I have no kettle.

I think you'd need more than one tealight.

I meant mine is already turned off in Windows.  I couldn't understand what she was saying and CC didn't help much.  Anyway, it's not a problem, not even an inconvenience 

Yes cheap Chinese junk, but they've been working for over a year so were a good buy, even if there's a hiccup now and again

You'll still be able to make a cuppa by using tea lights in a muffin tin to boil a little pan of water.  I saw that earlier today on FB

I think they know that the grid is fragile. The grid in Spain and Portugal had a big outage last year

There has been lack of investment matching the scramble to decarbonise it with renewables. Gas storage was cut (by the Tories I think) and gas fired is the backup generation if there is insufficient power which with the amount of solar in winter could be a big problem when we get the low wind periods that can happen in January and February.

I have just read that Tesco's are going to limit the amount of some things that people buy.

Personally, I think this is a good thing.   Apparently it is to stop those people who panic/bulk  buy and clear the shelves so there is nothing left for anyone else.
I remember it being done with loo rolls a few years back,  and I think its selfish.

To be honest,  I hope more supermarkets follow Tesco's lead, too.

What is all this about anyway?   
As I said in another thread recently,  I still think the Government knows more than it is telling us.
