It's winter
The time of year when we get the dreaded power cuts, I got this small petrol genenrator 18 months ago from Aldi, £60, it's a two-stroke engine and it's not too noisy, power output 240 volts, 750 watts, that's enough to power a few lights, your freezer, and your TV, also not forgetting the PC. 
It runs on unleaded.

Luckily we don't get many power cuts down south 
Haven't had one in three years living in this apartment I think my neighbours would shout if I had one of those running

That a good buy Nero.
We've got a diesel powered generator in one of the barns. We get quite a few power cuts, especially in the bad weather. Our generator was a blessing.
