    LPG ??? Your own tank in garden..? ( even diesels can run on a %age of LPG) But petrol converted to LPG is cleaner, cheaper and with modrrn ecu controlled wet systems just about as powerful.???

    Fat people discrimination

    Agree with sentiments of thread but just food for thought... I weigh errr 105kg Was once on a,Ryan Air flight( which I,d paid £9).The extremely petit lady behind me who weighed at most 50 kg had to pay £20 excess baggage charge because her 10kg allowed bag weighed 12kg...( Mine was 9kg) My all...

    For all you sailors

    It is quite incredible for such a sized ( and category of) boat. Certainly deserves his flying fish tie... Well done. Good man and a great advert for boat..

    That's the only downside for Butane...think in most other respects its looked on as preferable ? But we regularly used to get FLT tanks freeze lines up on ski boat...in theory it was " propane" but I could never figure why some tanks worked perfect , whilst other would freeze lines solid...I...

    I,m exactly opposite...rarely used Butane...( but I suspect we buy mixtures of both gases !) Camping gas is sold as Butane, had it on good authority its a mix... Butane is the better option...except for colder climes..below about 5 degrees it does not evaporate quickly enough...especially for...

I had to get an adaptor to fit onto taper ( the male bit)...then from that to screw thread for camping gas..( had I known I,d have bought converter to...

    Calor actually do a more convenient range of cylinders. Problem being there simply seems to be no equivalent size in France/ Spain for size I have at moment. And the fact suppliers refuse to refill UK cylinders. You can fit refillable bottles and utilise Autogas refill but it is a little frowned...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suspect it was tongue in cheek, ironic or written by a remainer (edit)..? BTW...no wind here today. Cleaning equipment, washing salt off...and posting. Nice and warm tho...... And a little EU/ UK moan. Tanked gas is dominated by Calor in UK...Every yacht, caravan, and mobile home built for/...

    I don't think his association with Clegg and Morgan was that wise. Their event was somewhat of a flash in the pan and attracted more derision than support. I believe he stated at it he had no intention of entering the fray, sort of begs the question WTF was his little speech and address all...

    Loads of people buy, retire, come and go from France from out of EU. My neighbour was Australian.....a few Kiwis lived in village. The number of retirees from uk is just too large to introduce draconian rules...would be cutting their nose to spite... The only slight down for pension abroad is...

    Thanks flecc. A compliment.. A comment from Times reader.. "Watched David Miliband on Sky and he has some serious gravitas. He makes Corbyn and May look pretty stupid in comparison. The right will shout about the ‘2008 economic collapse’ and the left will shout ‘Iraq’ but for the many who...

    No, I heard its because he wants to keep both Ukip voters happy... I suspect its sort of as Flecc suggests...he might inherit no10 leading a disaster multi party council...then he will try and introduce a raft of massive nationalisation programmes...and successful or not will then go back to...
