With any luck we will be reading soon about how Chilean maoist rebels have kidnapped a British ag journalist and his family is ignoring ransom demands. Now, go forth and check the resting voltage, specific gravity and electrolyte level in your battery and tell us if the electrolyte level is up to the top line.
