    Darwin friend is coming to me tomorrow Pat so I will need to have the heating on all weekend.   She will be clad in winter clothes which she keeps over here at her sister's.

    Why is he on then Pat?  Glad you're having fun with your daughter.  Ours is in new PC set-up mode with her Pa so very boring, the pair of them!

    @Obelixx the bottles are swapped when you pick up a full one, you leave an empty behind so they have to be the same size. I'll go and fetch another next weeks sometime which should see us through winter.

    I know Hosta but that doesn't stop you buying a small one as a n emergency reserve.  It goes without saying that bottles always run out when you're cooking so you need a reserve.   We have 3 18kilo bottles - one for each cooker hob and one spare to swap in when it runs out, usually doing something pasta on a timer!

    Pat - we  thought our lot was bad! Have they 'chosen' a new PM or is it a case of the deputy being the stand in until you have another election?

    The most annoying thing about the gas bottles, is neither is actually "empty" . It's still sloshing about , but , I guess, not enough pressure to get all the way to the kitchen.

    Hostafan1 My Dad always poured boiling water over empty gas bottles and we would get another couple of days use out of it.

    Just seen a snippet about Oz and the PM.  Will have to wait for more info tho.

    Hosta - being small, ours live in kitchen cupboards right next to their cooker so no pressure lost down the pipe.   Even so, there's always a dribble left when we swap them out.
