Calor gas prices - piracy on the high street ?

One of the two Calor bottles on Annabella is empty.

I called in at out "local" camping and caravan store last night to pick up a refill and just before the assistant rang it through asked the price. Wow - nearly £40! Yes, looked again and checked - not a mistake!

Well, I remember the same refill last year as around £20, so we didn't do that, Price checked the alternative store this morning - the same refill is half the price - and we will be shopping there obviously.

I know this isn't a very salty post, but I do think it's wrong. Many people will be unfortunate enough to be taking their family caravaning this holiday weekend, and to compound their woes someone will slip through double price gas hidden in a long list of other stuff. If they do notice they may well be too disillusioned to question it. It's exploitative and unfair. :-(

For reasons of good taste I can't be bothered to illustrate this post with a picture of a gas canister...
