Tim,

Thanks for letting me off lightly!

Must have been very tired when I did my original reply, stupidly talking about 1A (which is what 3pin-to-2pin shaver sockets are fused at) and then transposing that directly into Watts.

D'oh!

I agree with the wind up/rechargeable battery ideas. I actually have a wind up radio, they are pretty nifty and last about 15-20 mins for 30 seconds of winding - not bad eh!
