£7.60 for a litre! You could get a decent bottle of wine for that!

I spent late Saturday afternoon with my son and his mate making a couple of [url= http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/gear-features/make-your-own-meths-burner/6227.html ]these[/url].

I thought I had meths, but we'd used it all and once these things were made I was under quite a lot of pressure to let them use them, so off I went to buy some.

Homebase was where I ended up and seriously out of pocket!

Having looked around for other outlets, the cheapest I could find was the local market @ £2.50 per half litre.

I'm astonished - I'm sure the last time I bought meths it was about 65p a half-litre bottle!

I buy meths for work - it is ferociously expensive, but that is high.

I buy 80lts at the start of a year.

Well Chaps, Matt is the only one who's found it cheaper than my local market, but only if I buy at least 5 litres each time. I'm gobsmacked at how pricey it is!

Maybe it's that expensive to try and stop people drinking it?
