About six years ago I acquired some Ray-o-Vac batteries via an advert on our local Freecycle site. On arrival at the owner's house, I was confronted by three pallets of the damned things, rather than the few packs I was expecting. Having agreed to the terms of the offer, I had to take the lot. They were just out of date when I got them, but are still as fresh as the day they were packed. They have actually come in very useful, not least to power my 704 and 286 linesman's phones. Down to the last 2000 PP3s and 3 1/2 thousand or so D cells now though........
