I bought mine at Robert Dyas - I think it was £6.99 for 4 litres.

I'd imagine B&Q and Homebase do it as well.

Tesco sell it at the garage forecourt. It is usually with the BBQ charcoal.

I get mine from a place that sell swimming pools and gas. Only a couple of quid for four litres. I tried B&Q but was told by an assistant that they didnt stock it Confused

Shoddy looking pubs usually put in coke and sell it as vodka shots, order yourself a triple, wander outside and start cleaning Thumbs Up
