Who decided it would be a good idea in late November/early December to
take half of our nuclear generating capacity offline for refuelling when
it's likely to be cold and there's not much daylight around? And often
not much wind either.

Met Office disagrees:

turbines will need to be feathered and or locked down because of too
much wind.)

I dunno, but every time I see Burt use the word "Dunkelflaute" it
reminds me of why sKumbag-evans named him Mrs Nugatory.
Bit of Dunkelflauting tonight - not enough juice for the nav lights

One might expect battery backup for those to have been fitted, they
can't require that much power.

Yes that's what you'd expect.

I hear that ex-vape batteries are the way to go.

I've collected rather a lot. I made a re-chargeable battery pack for
the electric ignition on my gas fire.
£70 for the non rechargeables ( well you can re-charge them a few times)

I found one yesterday that has a battery status indicator and charger
port. I've been using a vape battery as an ALC overshoot defeat on the
7300 . I'm going to adapt that one . I've extracted the innards and
discarded the smelly bits .
