I have a Maglite, to be able to shine to read street names and house numbers from the van in the dark.

Just real batteries - the torch works brilliantly, focuses down to a tight spot - I've only ever used it as described, reading street names and house numbers in the dark.

ahh...but a roll of walpaper could be used as a torch in an emergency & you can't use a torch as a backing for a school text book nor to stick on a wall as a form of decoration

Look at that - they move up north and right away start getting all smarty pants!
And why would anybody want to know when they're driving past an automated door?

Noooooo, born in Oldham. Just went down south to see what all the fuss was about!!!
Many of the "radar detectors" (the Cobra included) out there detect X band (amongst others).
Unfortunately, X band isn't used in the UK BUT is produced by automatic doors, hence...

Perhaps so, but it won't fit in the baton pocket on Police trousers !! Folk will think I'm carrying a bazooka, or something worse down there......

Isn't it good to have Tommo back on nights? He hardly posts at all when he's on days - I suppose on days he's out there chasing all the baddies, but at night they're all in bed.

I dunno! With all the evidence against us on this forum, one word out of place and we could all be banged up and he would hardly have to lift a finger.
