A Depth Charge with bite!

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

Someone ewlse on here got a couple from Pedregeur market ... to far for you I know, but they are often for sale up here on markets

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

.... do you mean empties - ie to add to your 'stock'? or replacing empties with full? (:blink:)

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

Find your local Cooperativa, they are the best place to get your gas.

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

But quite a bit more expensive than the 'local' repsol dealer!

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

i mean refills, dont think our cooperativa does them, but i will check.
we used to have a repsol storage area outside town, where you could pick up refills, but it closed about 2-3 years ago.
we have one garage locally that is supposed to stock them, but they have one cage with about 50 in it, if you're lucky. in a town on 20,000+ they dont last too long......
been out again this morning, no joy. bugger.

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

We've got 5 places within 200 meters selling them, if one has run out then we can always get one from another place.. a tale that cost me 90€ for a traffic violation a couple of weeks ago.. but that's another story...

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

I have alway had my gas delivered (no charge) through CESPA (servicio oficial). Isn't this service available throughtout SPain?

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

If you can get a second can it doesn't half ease the tension. We had two gas heaters when we moved in, so two bottles.

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

We've actually got four bottles - two water heaters, a cooker & spare. In a manically bad moment I did ask the Repsol supplier if I could arrange to have another, but it seems it's typically Spanish bureaucracy .... fill in another form, check the house, NIE, inside leg measurement, etc., before you can. I gave up!

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

I am fed up with Repsol. We have lived here nearly 3 years now and they still will not deliver to our house even though they pass the end of our road once every two weeks. I have asked them so many times now to deliver gas and each time they say of course they will come. It is now even more difficult because the OH is working away during the week and it means I have to go to town to collect the gas - and they weigh a "tonne". We have four gas bottles, two for the gas fires, one for the hot water. One of the gas bottles is in a silver container which is a lot lighter - this is replaced at the ferreteria. The ferreteria also has stocks of the orange bottles.

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

Not fair if they pass the end of your road......however there are loads of us out here who have no choice but to go to town, nothing delivers not even the post!!!!:p

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

I found the best way is to take a single empty orange bottle to the delivery wagon, Hand the driver a crisp 50 euro note and drive away with two full bottles. When we first arrived we only had one,We now have four. No red tape required,Just a smile and some cash. :eek::eek::eek:

Further details below if you wish to go though normal channels.

:rofl:

(no delivery wagon that'd know me.....they only do the pueblo!)

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

They will probably let you exchange the orange repsol bottles for the lighter silver cepsa bottles if you ask nicely, I know our local garage does.

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

4 bottles seems to be the magic number - we too have 4. But the garage won't change any more than 2 at a time, when they actually have any.
its a pain in the arse tbh, i know when we stay in denia theres a big garage that has a huge trailer full of the cepsa silver bottles, all the time. why cant our local do the same? i dont think the bottle geezer comes thru our urb as its non-tarmacced and a bit bumpy on it.

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

And quite possibly the funniest...:p

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

will you all stop moaning gas is all over the place it doesnt take much to go and collect it .if your not happy then go back to england then you will have some thing to moan about.

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

I dont really think thats necessary
Its a discussion thread .... if people want to moan then thats their perrogative, and its human nature .... if you dont like it then just ignore it :);)

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

oh you little tinker your a fine won

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

Im not sure I go around telling people to go home if they dont like it, and I know what kind of response that normally brings ... so probably best not to go there eh? :)

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

I've got a car, you may have a car..... for those that haven't??? go back to England???

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

unfortunately for Mitzy - as a mod - he's not allowed to put anyone on ignore

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

Bet he wishes he could!

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

A lot of our local venta's sell gas both the orange and silver ones so I don't have a problem myself coz it's a blue job in our house;), I know there is a lorry that comes round but in 6 years I have seen it, have heard the bell sometimes but by the time I shake the old man and get him up the drive and open the gate it's gone.:lol:

Re: is it just us, or.......
 

i would assume you're having a tongue in cheek response to my original post with this comment. if not, if youre in leicester, how would you know if there is gas 'all over the place' near me? i find it particularly annoying to have to visit, sometimes, 6 garages to find a gas bottle to heat my living room. you may find that an interesting twist to the day - i find it a waste of some 2 hours when i should be trying to work.....

but on a brighter note, it's not so cold this week, so maybe this bottle will last the duration :D
