Hi Alistair
What a GOOD IDEA this is. I’ve been in a similar situation and it’s horrible being cut off (even for an hour)
Really enjoy looking here. Lots of good advice and tips.
Great stuff
Thanks for your comment Caroline, its true that sometimes the simplest ideas are the best and i have to say this worked a treat. So not only does it keep your mobile (or ipod, mp3 etc) working it also if fabulous for the environment as well.
