Thursday

I've ended up with a gas bottle for my new gas torch that i can just about carry, but only just! this is due to the arcane way gas bottles are sold. Basically you have to put a deposit on the bottle of £25 then pay for the gas. Well you do if its a small bottle , as they get stolen quite often, (knowing this i went and asked Mr Handy if he had an old bottle, i had to struggle up the loft but yes they did have one, but a butane one.) the larger bottles you just pay for the gas... so i could have had half the gas for £25 and £17 for the gas, or £25 for double the propane and no deposit...all quite odd, and quiet odd as the gas bottle place is also an undertaker.
