I have borrowed an invertor from a fellow group member (thanks) and have
one
of the £20 ones on order from Maplin however I was thinking that stepping
12v up to 240v and then back down to 12v has to be a bit inefficient at
some
stage plus I have a 12v DC power cord on order from Dabs for my laptop (so
that I don't have to use an invertor with the laptops PSU).

Also, with Edward romping around in the back of the car and the invertor
underneath the passenger seat I just get a bit nervous at having 240V
hanging around in the car...
