I rather like the idea, of putting a couple of these on the side of the house (or maybe on columns), to light the garden. :cool:

Regarding batteries, try this if you need AA and only have the tiny AAA ones.

Just been watching Flog it and there was a bit about servants in the 18th/19th century 'maturing' the urine from chamber pots to use as laundry bleach (on account of the ammonia content).
So if you run out of Domestos.....;)
