About 5 years ago i 'bought' a 1mtr tall BOC bottle, regulator, gauge and associated pipes for a tenner, and at the time though - christ, that was cheap!

Now, 5 years on a mate borrowed my welder and is having a mare trying to get the gas filled up without signing a contract!

As i type the bottle is in my boot and i'm hoping i'll get it filled on the way home from work with the cap who did it last time out of his (impressive) shed!

I just assumed it was as easy as buying spanners, but it appears not!
