Why do you constantly bring your personal faith into discussions? Its not needed.

You have to slam me for bringing in my religion to discussion simply because I describe how I used to use my tape recorder and that happens to include church? Eh?

(Unless you mean the comparison to televangelists. Anyway, I'm afraid it's a big part of my life. No can do.)

I think it was George Bernard Shaw who said, "There is only one religion - but a hundred versions of it."

And many of them fight each other over which is the "true" version

I don't think I 'slammed' you...really.... I just asked nicely.

...restrains from slamming proper...

Maubie & LB, that's a bit harsh. We all bring our personal beliefs into our posts, it would be hard not to.

Anyway back to radios and torches, the combination or wind up an PV sounds like the best idea. I'm off to do some research on them....

Maybe I was bring a bit harsh, but it does seem that almost every post references God.

I do think that is a bit excessive as PO has nothing to do with religion.

Apologies if I caused offensive.

Regarding wind-up lights, I am a big fan and have about 4 at home. They are safer than candles in the event of brownouts and more sustainable.

Beria, you are a very silly person.

No worries.

As I say, it's a big part of my life, and the core of my personal philosophy, worldview, ethics, and what have you. That affects how I see things, including peak oil. I can try and not mention it where it isn't necessary, if you prefer.

I have one lantern and the beeping thing barely works for more than about a minute. Seems to be starting to work better since I made sure of giving it a good few minutes wind first, but they do take a *lot* of wnding.

I also have, or had, a couple of torches which work better, and a light on the radio.

Beria, you are a very silly person.

Candles do have a tendancy to burn down and that's it, all gone...

...unless you keep bees and make your own with the wax? (I suppose you might use tallow but I hear that's rather messier and smokier?)

Electric lights on t'other hand can last as long as the batteries and LEDs last, though I suppose new candles can be made more easily.

Apologies for over-reacting.

You're just as silly.

Horses die, so obviously cars are more sustainable.

I didn't realise cars could reproduce. Are they hermaphrodites, or do you get male and female ones?
