You used to be able to get paraffin easily and cheaply (esso blue or the pink stuff). But now it seems quite rare. B&Q sell it, but they charge crazy prices for it: about seven pounds for four litres - more than derv! Is it possible to get paraffin in the UK for a reasonable price? I'm guessing that it should be something like 50 or 60p per litre as there would be no duty on it. We use paraffin from a local hardware shop for one of these heaters.. http://witlessspammer.co.uk/shop/par...ig-red-heater/ No spam please. Tim |

Because the domain being spammed is the chilli farm one (which I did leave munged) not the web designer/SEO company. When I point out someone as being a spammer, I do it in the hope that someday, someone searching for the idiot will find out he's a spammer and avoid doing business with them ... |

Probably not worth using ajweb... for your website either, with a bottom of page like that: Footer Text 1 Footer Text 1 content area etc. -- Nick (=----) |
