I've just been asked if I have a USB Sub station.

Could be handy in a power cut!!!

Explain that you did have, but thieves nicked all the copper earthing wire out of it and it's no longer safe to use

But presumably only if everything ran on 5V

well, you jest, but i can plug a laptop into our substation and use some energy monitor software to view our energy usage!

And what was this 'USB sub station' going to be used for? I am presuming they meant a USB hub?

I'd guess they meant a hub. Or USB comes from Unterseeboot which would make their request rather more difficult. There may be some left in Norway.

They did indeed mean a USB hub.

You just HAVE to buy one of those and pass it to them!
