    This bake off mainly came about as I have been very interested in the Bantam Gold amp. An amp that will look like a pack of playing cards compared to my large SS amp, which makes my mind boggle, so I would really like to see how it compares. What makes my mind boggle even more is the fact that the performance of this Bantam Gold amp is further improved by taking it off grid and running it from a battery. This is a wee bit bonkers to my mind as my hifi is powered from a full Roy K Riches mains installation, to a 3Kva Balanced Power supply leading to a AG1500 Power Regenerator. However I can understand the possible benefits of bypassing the grid altogether and the problems it brings.
    We can fit as many cars as you like on the drive but the hifi rom is a little narrow, so I think we can probably host a maximum of four people and it would be good to wrap up by 6pm. Ill see if I can rustle up some snacks and drinks.
    My only source is a laptop straight to my MDAC, if you want to hear your own music then I can rip it to my lap top or you can bring your own.
    All in all it should be a good afternoon.

    What you get up to in your private life is nobody's business but yours. However, it's good to know that you've been able to clean yerself up a little before John and the others get there.

    Very clever, if not a little crazy. I must have had one too many to drink!

    Not so dry here. Yalding flooded badly again. We went down in the morning on christmas day and our friends who have 4 feet of water in the downstairs of their house all had alternative accomodation. We went down at 5PM on christmas day to check in the church whether anybody needed a bed, and took in Louise and Darren with their Lab lady who had just arrived in the village and been evacuated by boat. The firebrigade and others have been back and forth with zodiacs, and there have been helicopters circling with floodlights at night. Then the power went off at 9 on Christmas Day, and came back on about 2 hours ago, although I am getting the usual "power up" nuisance trips on the RCD's. We had a generator from yesterday afternoon, but its been a bit of a Christmas. Floods went down last night and all roads open, although the river is still running fast, there are cars in the water, and debris everywhere. Big mess to clear up
