You haven't posted in Introduce. But your username suggests you are a Saffer, so maybe manners are not a given.

Anyway, I find Varta are an OK battery, if you can get them where you are.

That is good. I won't have to mention the humiliating defeat of South Africa by the Netherlands earlier, then.

Did you get a battery?

I do. But Afrikaans is a derivative language of Dutch. It means redhead in either language.
