    Yay, nice to see some local (ish) folks

    Seeing as you're both quite close where would be the best place for dive cylinder filling?

    Cheers

    Apologies for the late reply.
    1. I use Dive Cellar.

    Between Burton and Derby, DE73 7HH, Barrow-on-Trent.

    You get a proper 300 BAR refill here, unlike some other nearby dive shops.

    Prices? Not expensive, or I'd have remembered. Good for retests too.

    It's a slightly strange set up, don't let that put you off. The "shop" looks like a shed in a farmer's yard , and it is best to give him a ring before turning up.
    It's not staffed all the time, but the owner lives next door, so give him a ring and he'll meet you there. Top of the line filling set up, Coltri compressors and a large accumulator iirc.

    2. Springfields in Burton also used to offer a drop off and collect refill service. Give them a ring to see if they still offer that service.

    Sounds like HandyAndy likes the Princess Leia double Danish pastry hairdo. Personally I find the single plait very alluring, I can't imagine why.
