Bar Keepers Friend
Nothing to do with trying to get a free pint. I discovered this stuff recently. Comes in a spray, cream or powder form. Absolutley amazed at how easy and quick it cleans my stainless steel cooking kit. Easy to find on youtube. I only use the powder (advised to) and only a really small amount is need...

Li-Ion and Li-Po Battery Bank Storage
Morning all, So, for a few years I've had a couple of GP Batteries 10,000mah Li-Ion USB battey banks fully charged in storage (used only once or twice). They are starting to go bit wonky now so have bought another 2 from the same brand but different model and still Li-Ion. On a whim I also bought a ...

Re: Disneyland Paris kit list
Another hopefully not too flippant.....something to entertain the kids if waiting in a line for a long time and/or possible lengthy Eurostar delays.

Re: Trying to build Solar Power Bank
Hi and thanks for the info. I guess yes I should have thought before that UPS batteries are not designed to be charged/discharged frequently. I'll start looking at deep cycle ones. Also thanks for the other info. I still got some reading and understanding to do.
Thanks
Steve
Thanks

Re: Barbados Holiday Prep
Thanks for the tips. We both have a pre paid Visa debit cards. Mine is Revolut and the Mrs is Caxton. You preload them with sterling and then use in more or less any country and currency you wish.

Re: Barbados Holiday Prep
Thanks for the advice, appreciated :) The pen knife will be in the hold luggage with the rest of the kit. Carrying while there I do not think will be a problem. It's in a pouch, in a pouch, in a bag. So am not really waving it about plus am thinking that in countries/climates like this having a knif...
