The lid fell off one a couple of years back, couldn't see a battery but that's not to say it/they don't have one.
Previous battery operated ones always bleeped low battery warning at 3am. Very considerate of them.
lol at dinner gong alba... mine drives me mad sometimes, you cant even open the bathroom door after a shower without it going off.... though i suppose thats a good thing they are so sensitive
We have had ours for many years, never put a battery in it, Ok, ive never actually taken them out of their original packaging either, im not even sure where they are!!
I don't have a massive flat screen tv mounted on the wall, a coffee grinder or a bread maker either. Damn you Hopkirk for making me realise what I'm missing out on.
I had some nice Jubilee crisps yesterday, in red white and blue. Made from different coloured potatoes - Salad Blue, I forget the others. Tasted rather nice, and of course you feel really patriotic.
