    Some men have described me as 'scary'. And Reg still won't let me blindfold him... even after 12 years of marriage!

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

    Cheers
    Iirc there are a couple of dive shops in and around Derby a quick Google search will find them, be sure to check what pressure your bottle is and if they can fill it for you. I once had a place close to work but they only filled to 232 bar not 300 bar. 👍

    I've had my eyes opened quite a bit this last 12 to 15 months but I guess I'm getting more adventurous in my older years I'm very trusting, but break my trust if you dare

    For some strange reason over mobile internet data I can't view any of the links to photo bucket pics? I'll let you know next time I've been on WiFi.

    Unless you email some to me. That'd work

    That's now my motto too. I fell into the same thing a few years ago and it literally got blown out of all proportion

    Elaine, having now seen the pictures, I'd say no not like them in the photos. I'd go more for a full bunch on both side of the head, see, I've got big hands and with little bunches like those I would not be able to get a very good grip

    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.
