BATTERY WEEK: Hugo's spread

It's always nice when a fellow collector gets their wares out and shows you what they've got.



WHERE THEY ALL CAME FROM:

"Thomson -- these are probably the best batteries in the world! Came with my Thomson VCR six years ago, I've never replaced them. Never. Ever."

"Pirkka -- Finnish battery"

"ATC -- can't remember where from, best bit of these "Made in PRC" batteries is the "A product of the ATC-HOLLYLAND Group". Are they trying to conjour glamourous Hollywood ideas?"

"Ikea -- cheap Ikea battery."

"Tandy -- classic Tandy batteries, and a RadioShack from the same place."

"Two camera batteries, included cos they're a stupid shape."

"Ruwido -- I think these came with my new NTL remote, but I've never used them because I put the old ones from my old NTL remote in. "Interesting", eh? NTL batteries fare the worst, that thing eats batteries like nothing else."

"Airdeer! -- Or is it Pairdeer? Either way, no idea where from, but they're great!"

"An old Duracell Procell."

"Eastpower -- from my cheapo Technika DVD player from Tesco."

"Golden Power -- dunno where this is from either."
