Re: butane/propane ?
Commercial butane is typically spiked with propane and will usually have other hydrocarbons such as propene but its limiting factor is that it can only boil off (convert from liquid to gaseous state) at temperatures above 0c. To do this, it depends on ambient temperature and the wetted surface of th...

Re: Orange balls on power lines, again
As has already been suggested, they are an aid to visibility for aircraft operating in the are; this could be crop dusting, airfield activity or an evac area for helicopters including military aircraft. Whilst the OP is correct regarding line features, you don't physically follow every curve of the...

Sun Lounger Refurbishment?
Hi, any ideas as to where I can get sun loungers re-upholstered? The existing cane covers have rotted but the frames are goo quality and simply need new covers attaching so any help for someone in the Axarquia/Malaga area would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Smuggler's Routes into Spain
Hi, anyone know of any good 'side' routes into Spain from Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey Land? I'm looking to avoid the main arterial routes that the socialist scum are blocking and slip over the Pyrenees via a route that won't be blockaded. Also, is super unleaded affected to the same/lesser extent...

Its called demand and supply and in this case demand has outstripped supply, nothing more sinister than that. Given the wholesale prices have risen by more than 57% over the last six months, I'd say that end users are getting a good deal although it does demonstrate how out of touch Spanish business...

Propane boils at -47C whilst butane boils at 0C so essentially once the ambient temperature approaches OC, then butane cannot boil off inside the cylinder to produce a vapour. Realistically, butane is most efficient between 13C - 20C so if your boiler is externally mounted alongside the cylinder the...

You pays your money and you get your goods. I've not been overly impressed with the boilers on the Spanish market, even Junkers who are part of the Bosch Group seem to make fairly lightweight units despite their good reputation in Spain but the same can be said for any LPG appliance which seems stra...

Grouser, have you walked to the top yet? Tried off roading in our Kia Picanta hire car but it wasn't playing the game, however, there looks to be a great walk to the top which I thought I'd take Wilko up in the summer? If you take the road from Vinuela to Alhama de Granada, about halfway you come to...

Stihl or Husqvarna will do the job admirably, although I'd probably opt for Stihl in Spain as I've seen more dealers especially inland and haven't had any complaints from any of mine. Probably budget for around €500 for a decent sized one and as others have said, make sure you buy all the protective...

Have to agree that the flights are a bargain whether you scramble for a seat or not, and for a short flight it doesn't bother me that much, though I still like to gawp out of the window. Most of our flights are with BMIbaby who allocate seats, so the situation doesn't occur. I don't really understa...

I've been watching this thread with (very) amused interest, can ANY of you tell me why it's important to have food and drink on a 2½ hour flight?? Because it allows us one meal which we don't have to prepare, particularly on a Friday evening when all I want to do is get from the office to the aircr...

Say, for example that someone had the Sky+ package in the UK but wanted to take it to Spain for Christmas to temporarily replace the free to air system would it have to be the main box (the one that records) or the spare one in the kitchen? I realise that one couldn't actually record but more channe...
