The new mantles which I ordered from Tilley International (the woman on the phone was ever so nice) arrived today, so after a bit of fiddling about we fitted a new one to our lamp, and when through the lighting procedure. I think we're getting the hang of it, because on the second attempt, it worked. I must say, it is rather impressive, giving a good bright white light - perfectly good for reading by, and sufficient to see all of the kitchen - and not a little heat, which might be welcome on a chilly evening.Now, I wonder if they still make Primus stoves....

Yes, they do. But if you want one I have about 3. Plus some army petrol cookers, coleman stoves and 3 tillys. Even better is my aladdin mantle lamp with the tall glass chimney. Almost as much light as a tilley but totally silent!!
PS. I am in Hailsham
PPS.
And work in Eastbourne, not far from Dr Duct I expect
Hello again! We never did get around to having the East Sussex banter, did we. I'll PM you my email address next time I'm on Canalworld and we must meet up.
