"Nice car"

Here in Victoria AU, and as I guess most countries around our globe would, have a "Change your clock, Change your smoke alarm battery" at the end of daylight savings promoted by the government and the fire service to keep the smoke alarms in our homes working.

Maybe we could have a "Change your clock, Change your smoke alarm _and_ weather station battery" at the end of daylight saving. I think this is a good thing and I will be changing both at the end of our summer.

Even if you don't change your "Weather station Battery' be sure to change your smoke alarm battery.

Been looking at lithium cells. These are of much greater capacity and much longer lasting than alkaline ones and are available in the same size and voltage viz. AA 1.5v A pack of six Energizer batteries is available through Amazon.co.uk for £4.90. They also do PP9 versions as used in many smoke and CO alarms.
