Blackout-proof heating

#1 Post by RobertArthur »

It is reassuring to know that when the electricity fails, there is still somewhere you can go for warmth. Here at "Le Zinc Bar Tabac" in Corbigny. A formerly neglected petit court in the open air was completely renovated a few years ago. It is heated by occasionally throwing a few logs on the fire. A double-walled chimney pipe rises very high. And the coffee: excellent. In Paris or other major cities, you can easily pay five times as much, if not more.

@ Exile, thx for your remark. Because late vocations are always welcome I see a bright and sunny new future, although it is very cloudy. Not a training course to become a professional barista, but a salesman for UPS-systems...However, there is of course something that could still throw a spanner in the works. Even with all my backups: data for life, but what do you do when all your batteries are flat?
