Any tips on who or where to get extra batteries from? 

Had a "didn't realise it was low till it was too late" moment with my KP this week. 

With my ancient K10 i got lucky a few years ago and got a genuine extra battery along with grip from someone on eBay, but I don't want to stump up £60 for a new OEM for the KP. 

Any recommended "generics"?

Following on from the photo by @pinkpanther's friend, this reminded me of one I took a few days ago.

From 1st November 2020 only EU Passport Holders allowed to buy property on Cyprus because of the Russian/Chinese investor buyers driving up the cost of new builds. Looked at some villa's which went from 680,000 to 2 million Euro's and they weren't good value. Went to Coral Bay on the local bus for the day only 5 Euro all day each (4 coaches used) and it is an area we would consider to retire.

you wont be allowed buy either then

No sign of any wreck. Got lots of info while we were there and the roads are very nice now thanks to investment from the EU.

And the view from the top of Blackfell, looking away from Windermere. We got a bit wet on the hike back down!
