Empty gas bottle

Hi, has anyone got an empty gas they don't want? I need to buy a new gas cylinder for a bbq and being a first-time customer I haven't got an empty cylinder to p/ex. Which means that the gas suppliers charge approx. £30 to start the supply process (bit of ... more »

S here
to get a gas bottle you have to pay (rent) for bottle and money for gas if you supply a bottle you only pay for gas I think you will find it in most places if someone know different let us know
Trevor G
I got mine from B & Q, you buy the gas and pay a deposit to cover the bottle, should you return the bottle at some point, the deposit is returned. Keep the paperwork however.

Hi Stephen, I will note down the key details and arrange to meet you at some point to discuss this situation as it will be easier for us to talk about it rather than me writing an essay which would rival war and peace. Hi Natalie, I will give you a call ... more »

Hope the Diceman doesn't mind me "hijacking" this post, but there will be a pub quiz team from Suffolk Friends there too, including the Diceman, so it would be an opportuntity to meet some of us.
thediceman
Do not fear for the pub quiz is merely an evening event (7-9pm) and probably for those attending the beer festival section rather than for the foodies. For me I'll be using both sections of the festival as I'm a glutton :) It's a shame they didn't ... more »

I hope they haven't got the same builders who filled the sewer up continuing the extension?!

Can't see the builder's van, just a private car. In trying to calm a ferrile neighbour (me) the builder assured me that he wouldn't be starting until 10am on Sunday. Someone was saying recently that the builders went bankrupt to avoid payment as soon as ... more »
