Good luck - Portmig 185 arrived last friday, but due to wiring issues in my workshop and my dad being in hospital I didn't bother getting any gas 'cos I'm not expecting to use it for a week or two. Then, Saturday night the 'phone rang and I have largish job to do on-site, preferably next weekend at night or late evening due to other stuff and people being about. This job will almost pay for the Porta, so I better get some gas.
Bad luck - Monday morning letter arrives from BOC. My local agent is moving premises and can't supply gas until 1st June. BOC will deliver at the collection cost, but only during normal working hours and there's nobody home!
Good luck - 'Phoned BOC and asked if they will deliver to site and still not charge over the collection cost. Very helpful chap at BOC added the Y size argo light to my account, set up a second address (my day-job) for delivery and arranged delivery for this friday. Only charging me for collection.
What a result, I get the gas delivered at collection cost (and don't have to take time off work and drive 40 odd miles to get it), and should be able to take on the job this weekend.
I'm quite happy at the mo, I wonder what the next 'bad luck' in the cycle will be
