Hello BSB

I don't know, but, think you would be safer to stick to camping stoves to be sure...

Pineapple started her post with "BB", rather than "BBB", so I thought she was addressing me.

Oops. And I haven't even started on the Barefoot Pinot Grigio yet! :rotfl:

BessieBooBoo that list is impressing, I don't think I'd have the patience to plan all that, I guess being always packing and un packing a suitcase has made me do everything last minute.....

Off topic now......
Over the last few months we have been calling Npower every month asking to be sent a bill, for some reason we haven't had any sent in the las year, so poor Scott had to be on the phone arguing with them, we never got one anyway, time wasted.
Last week he called them once again and this time he was less than polite, but finally today we got our bill, not one, not two, not three but four bills!!!! All dated 19th June 13 and one says £259 in credit, other one says £750 in credit, another one says £869 in credit and the last one days £1449 in credit! Funny thing is they have put our payments up!!!!!
Just waiting for poor Scott to come home and call again to see what the hell is going on! Are they taking the mick???
Whatever it is, if we are in credit (i fear we might have a surprise) we are switching to someone else, we have been waiting this long to be certain we didn't owe.

Who is happy with their supplier???

Eating 6 tins of baked beans, while sharing a tent?

You really think that's a good idea?

SpanishUK, I'm with Co-op energy and very happy

4x10L plastic "cube" water carriers, inside heavy duty refuse sacks, and stored in my pantry.

I'll build a bund, when I have time.

I've also ordered my first item, from Amazon, using my shiny news Prepay Mastercard.

Why don't you let us know when you've found out?
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
The only problem I can forsee is that if between the steel walls of the cup there must be some sort of gas (just air probably). If it's an airtight space and the gas expands your cup would probably deform, but unless it's strong enough to resist deformation up to high pressure (unlikely) it probably won't explode :eek:
If we don't hear from you we can assume the worst...
