Food for fellow torch fetishisists - £5.99

[dylanwinter]

My wife thinks I have a bit of a fetish with torches - and I do confess that I buy more than my fair share. I try to standtardise on one type of battery on the slug - buying boxes of AAs from Maplins - 100 for £15

I use them to feeed the GPS, the hand held VHF(hardly ever used) the old analogue radio, the DAB radio and the casio pocket TV.

I was as pleased as punch to come across this in QD.

It runs on four AAs and seems to go for ages on one set of batteries and therefore saves hammering the engine battery. The flip out bit gives an excellent all round light and stands on a table right over the a book

Dylan,

I am deeply dissapointed in you. I thought you were a candle & oil lamp man to the core, and now you have turned to modern technology.

Your status as a Demi-god of the impecuneous sailor is deeply dented, I am distraught, I have lost my faith, I do not know where to turn.




BTW, Aldi do a neat pair of pocket key-ring Led torches for 2 quid from time to time & they are superb. Arrgh, oh, no! I wasn't going to admit I use technology

Pfft. It's 2011, a cheap plastic torch *is* the choice of the impecunious, as opposed to the romantic. Just like fishermen use blue builder's polyprop rather than sepia-toned hemp and manilla.

Oil-lamp fan.
