How to stay connected during power cut

Could even consider powering your router from your cars cigarette lighter/aux socket via one of those switchable regulators. Cheap as chips. Should last a fair few hours as well.

as DPG's post. good car battery, but a cheap inverter to give 240V. only need about 200watts max. can also plug in cordles phone or mobile charge if required.

Even better solution, plug into your neighbours socket and give them a tenner to cover it. Easy and cheap.

The street's going off.....mind you, they may have changed plan....not been seen since posted at half past two.
Maybe a neighbour has a genny???

Forgot the whole street was off. Doh. Ok, longer cable same principle, just next street. Or lamp post. Unless someone's charging their car from it obviously.

out in the sticks, that thing probably runs about 5 days a year on average.
awsome in the winter when you realise that you are the only one on the street with heating
