I want you to picture the scene. Cro and Billy go for a walk, and Cro has decided to go prepared for almost every eventuality.
He imagines that half way around his walk, somebody's phone might suddenly go dead and will need re-charging.
Of course I never actually carry my own phone around with me (I tend to know where I am), but let's imagine that I find some damsel in destress, crying her pretty little eyes out. She can't connect to her beloved Tik Tok or Snapchat, and her life is no longer worth living.
Then along comes St Cro of the Coast to her rescue, and he offers to re-charge her batteries (any euphemism there Cro?) in the wink of a Lamb's eye (several hours).
I unclip the handy, and attractive, Solar Panels from my handy and attractive Rucksack, plug in, and we sit on a grassy mound together whilst her phone charges, and until she has regained her composure.
Little Miss Damsel is now so happy that she offers me a Polo Mint; but I refuse and continue on my heroic way; searching-out others who may have befallen similar fates.
Thank goodness for my handy portable solar re-charging unit !!! What would I do without it.

This is for the serious hiker-photographer to recharge the camera batteries and to provide tent light at night... as well as recharge the all vital setalight phone.... a Citroën 2CV van-camping friend of ours (he's rapidly heading for 80, I must add, so the bed is in the van and there's no passenger seat] has two of these strapped across the roofrack.... he's also got a wind generator for the dull days.... mentally, remove the zero from 80 and that is how he thinks of himself!! Apart from the Lounge'cum'bedroom'cum'diningroom and a well equipped kitchen, his house is almost unfurnished.... he divorced in his 50s [that should probably read became divorced... I think she probably got fed up with baby minding]... he's a lovely guy, eternally young.....
I think I'd rather stay at home, and not take snaps, than look like a plonker.
Very funny. Your imagination has no boundaries. Solar panels won't be needed when everyone has a chip inside them. They will be recharged automatically from the mini beasts floating around in the atmosphere.
Much more sensible; we won't need passports either, or money, or keys !!! One chip will do all.
Where do you find these things? that pack reminds me of the first cell phones that were so big they were carried in small suitcases. We will probably all have one of these, the size of a postage stamp, in a few years time.
This was in the Aldi 'special offers' magazine last Saturday!
I wonder if they make them for hats too?
A Sombrero covered with solar panels would be nice.
Rescuing damsels in distress may enrage Lady Magnon who will arrive at the grassy knoll to beat you with her rolling pin. "Take that you lecher!"
She's used to my antics by now!
