An appeal to Safefill users - and others!

except buying and selling coffee, papers other stuff is quite cheap, safe, and easy to do, an trained person can put them there and collect the money.

Adding a LPG pump is far more difficult and costly and the returns may not justify the costs involved, perhaps £5 per week? Why install safefill (and other products are available - I can't understand why Merve keeps pushing safefill) at a great cost when coffee makes money money and could indeed be said to support the leisure industry more?

Any strangely enough I never go to a petrol station to buy papers or coffee alone, it's mainly and most times only for the petrol, 

 

We are interested in getting more places to refill our refillables whatever make they are - is that so hard to understand?  Calor is a total rip off - so why spend our hard earned cash on them?

Total rip off? They exchange the bottle with no hassle for £20-ish once every 2-3 years. To me that’s simple and cost effective. What’s more, I can do it on site without the performance of getting to a garage only to be told they won’t allow me to do what I want. What price the simple life?

Changing a bottle every 2-3 years, you would have to be nuts to consider a refillable bottle.   I can get through the equivalent of 6kg every 2-3 weeks.  So a refillable bottle makes a lot of sense to me.

So I have two questions.   Why are there several posters on this thread, who assume that their reality is my reality?

second question, why are these same posters even participating in this thread, when it is not relevant to them and they contribute nothing? 

I’m glad you agree, Boff, that Calor isn't a TOTAL rip off. I'm glad I’ve been able to introduce an element of balance.

Well a swift answer is that what is not relevant to you maybe relevant to someone else and with all respect you are not the arbiter of what is and what isn't relevant and who post's and who does not. Once a post has been made anyone can answer it and expect the respect as described by the T&C.

By the replies given I've found there are other refills available which was at all not clear for whatever reason and still not clarified, and that it is not worth having these in certain conditions.

 

There have been plenty of threads discussing refillables in the past as there have been with various makes of Caravans and BBQs - do feel free to bring on a new thread discussing whatever you want to discuss.  I have found Calor to be a rip off as I heat my house with LPG and I had an offer to refill my huge tank at some 54p a litre - on my refusal they reduced their offer to 22p a litre - they clearly get away with charging 54p to people who don't question it.  And of course they are not the only company behaving like that.  I think the sort of information we get from threads like this and many others is extremely useful. 

And also English Heritage ,senior renewal for 2018/19 £74 on phoning to cancel subscription, was advised could have 12 months for price of 9 months = £55,as quoted many times "it pays to talk" in nearly all circumstances

There may be times when you find it a rip off, Pippah, but my point was that there are times when it is not and, therefore, to call it a total rip off is inaccurate.

The information is indeed useful as we have all now seen that different brands are available and that there are times when to use the exchangeable cylinders is more sensible. It helps us choose what is best for ourselves.

I heat my house with LPG as well (not Calor) but it’s not by cylinders, refillable or otherwise, so I saw no point in making any comparison here.
