Not sure if this is the right part of the forum to ask...anyone know the cheapest place or anywhere (other than B and Q) on the Wirral to buy paraffin or kerosene (which I think is heating oil?)

Mersey Fuels at New Brighton?

I was going to suggest The Flying Dutchman but I
think it's part of the same business:-

Thanks all...I'll give them a go...live quite close to homebirds too!
