adaptor

An adapter or adaptor is a device that converts attributes of one electrical device or system to those of an otherwise incompatible device or system. Some modify power or signal attributes, while others merely adapt the physical form of one connector to another.

    Propane gas prices

    Folks, How much would you expect to pay for disposable Propane gas cartridges to fit a Rothenberger? Any tips on best place to buy as you can get them online for around 6 quid but then the postage puts them up to around 12 quid which is similar to what B&Q, etc, charge anyway.
