Old CO2 cylinders: what to do with them?
Having a clearout, I've unearthed a couple of empty 250g CO2 cylinders from
a SodaStream machine. Turns out they are now obsolete as far as Sodastream are concerned, as their new machines use a different size cylinder, and they no longer support or refill the old ones. Does anybody else use these things these days, or are they literally rubbish? If not, how I am supposed to get shot of them, given that the local refuse collection centre refuses to take gas cylinders? Landfill? - seems bizarre. -- David |

Obviously be careful to empty before cutting... |

I liked Lambeth (or the part I was working in but like most places you only have to travel half a mile to be in a **** hole). East Dulwich was also fine but there was a shooting in Camberwell cemetery which was 1000m away from where I was working. Deptford scared the **** out of me at night. Tottenham was a bit ****e but not scary even at night The scariest place was Canary Wharf. It must be the most boring place in the world. -- Adam |
