I don't smoke, or do drugs-but I do have a paraffin habit. With unspecified numbers of Tilley lamps around the place, not to mention a sprinkling of Petter M types it's hardly surprising. My needs used to be catered for by the local garage. They had a pump just outside of the pay kiosk, which dispensed green paraffin at a very reasonable price. Sadly, when I went along there the other day to get
20 gallons, the pump was all covered up. Upon enquiring, I was told that due to lack of demand, paraffin sales had ceased permanently :-(I can buy that wretched pre-pack stuff at =A33.79 for four litres, but that makes it almost as much as petrol.
The plan now is for myself and several friends to buy a 45 gallon drum and split it between us,hardly convienient- but what do other people do?
