The requirement for backup power (batteries or UPSes as another poste mentioned) isn't unusual @matt_drummer - and it also depends on what you do, who you are, how much they are paying you. Would you find it odd that I also have to have backup solutions for internet access and a 'recovery' site (i.e. somewhere else I can work in case it isn't power/internet causing the problem) within 30 minutes of home? Or that I have to be able to get to an airport within a given timeframe? 

I don't find anything odd.

I just asked.

I won't do it again, sorry.

@greenbee well of course you haven't - most expensive insurance policy ever, but well worth it for peace of mind and at least it comes with the ability to assist with savings too. I still have battery envy!

Not wishing to add to your battery envy, my Fogstar is due for delivery next week ...

I'm now trying to work out if this is a rabbit hole I wish to venture down, or not...!

The whole of the daytime being over, mostly well over, 50p is probably more of an issue than the £1 slots

the whole day is a right off, a takeaway is on the cards after a good few hrs down the pub

Stay up all night and stay in bed until tomorrow evening.

I do wonder what has changed compared to last winter. Last year £1/kWh sounded like theory that we will never experience, this year - it's slowly becoming normal during cold, windless days..  

Gas prices are only 20% more expensive.

Luckily have all my power tools charged up so will do some work on the house tomorrow, laptops fully charged for entertainment later, cold chicken, turkey or tuna ready to go and will do some protein cake later tonight to see me through to Sunday. Tuesday was cheapish but fifty percent more than Wednesday (in cost terms) as I charged everything up and did some cooking so minimal use of electric on the expensive day. Ditto today and tomorrow. It will get boring if it goes on too long, though.
