    none of my buttons are battery powered!!! Would be handy with the arthritus, some of these little "shirt" buttons are a nightmare.

    My good lady has loads of Christmas ornaments which use button batteries.  Most needed replacing this year and I was shocked at how many had expanded since last use.  Thankfully none had actually exploded.

    Yikes again  - we keep our old batteries in a plastic container on the windowsill. I'd better go and find a glass one. Do you think it reacted to the pewter?

    I would move them off the window sill as heat from the sun (little as there is currently) won't help.  I would leave them in plastic as you won't get shards of glass flying everywhere if a battery does explode.

    Right click, save a copy and attach it in a mail or message.

    Re batteries - we are given little cardboard containers in which t store spent batteries in a cool place before taking them to the recycling centre.  Been like that for 20+years and never yet gone bang.

    If there's anyone alive who can tell me what qualifies her to hold her position ( apart from being mates with Bojo), I'd love to hear it.

    A Failing Grayling. I read somewhere he's actually cost the taxpayer over £1.5 billion in wasted / failed projects
