AlanHo Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I've still got several boxes of candles left over from the 3 day week in the 60's or 70's.I've also still got my petrol ration coupons from the Suez crisis just in case I need them - plus a large quatitiy of tinned beans and sprouts to support my methane generation project which my friends seem reluctant to share with me.For a wind up torch I plan on propping my bike off its wheels - lower the dynamo onto the tyre and pedal like fury.
