Nightmare! I had the exact same battery issue.


I purchased a battery charger that you plug in at home.

In general a healthy car battery should not discharge over just a few weeks - this tends to happen when (a) the battery is old (4 years or over) or (b) if there is something draining the battery - I had a problem when a boot light didn't go off when the boot was closed. Couldn't see it of course. In very cold weather, additionally (which we haven't been having) batteries may be sluggish first thing - it's often the first warning you get of age overtaking it. Modern batteries do tend to fail dramatically, when they do, rather then give you a struggling warning. When garages are back I'd get yours to check the battery over to make sure it's still underlyingly healthy, and that there isn't an unusual drain on it. Certainly before next winter.

    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds? 
    • Certainly unique, can't argue with that.
