Dummy AA battery?

I wos wrong..

In the 1966/7 Ever Ready catalogue there are:

D size: U2, LPU2 (the designation SP2 had presumably not yet been used) and HP2 C size: U11, LPU11, HP11 AA size: HP7 and U12/D14. Note the dual designation. It's also interesting that the HP7 is listed twice, once in High Power Batteries and again in General Purpose. AAA size: U16, HP16

I happen to like Outlook Express and I do not care what you expected. You are the only one who has ever complained, so, tough s*it.

'In the Wet' must be the one you mean! His way of having a go at Labour government after the R101 fiasco.

One of mine, although 'Lonely Road' is very good. One or two I really didn't get on with at all.

Didn't know that, although I knew when he died. A fascinating man.

The SP designation came in at the same time as HP. The U was the earlier zinc carbon ones, and when the manganese (I think) HP ('High Power') versions came in, zinc carbon was rebranded as SP ('Standard Power').

I think he was celling you a line.

Actually, it seems I misinterpreted those two statements as being an argument by two people, hence my jumping to the conclusion I did. The absolute absurdity noted by Tim threw me off.

BTW, OE isn't the worst news reader client. That accolade now belongs to Live Mail.

yeah but I'm NOT that old ;-)

Fair enough and okay :-) The +1 brigade and now retract. I think I've found a way to put OE on Windows 7 ..........
