"allo Sir Art, What an unfortunate situation. Even in the "woods" here the "firers" are only $12 at most and the cartridges are really inexpensive--just over 3 bucks for five in gun shops. That's less than half the price of a martini at a Heathrow hotel but less than one in Diamonhead! You see they are used for CO2 powered guns! This is no help--wish I could send you some. I did carry some on a plane once but the next time I got them confiscated! I wish you could have been present at the "scene" I made about that-all with my tongue in cheek! A thought; are CO2 rifles allowed in the UK--if so that might be a source for the cartridges at a lower price. Jailed Uncle Geoff. >The price of these cartridges in UK bike shops is also extortionate. >Can any UK listees tell where I can get these cheap ? I thought they were >used in soda syphons & that therefore they would be available from any 'offy' >( US = liquor store ) but no luck so far. > >Art Walker
