Waste

A few weeks ago I bought a couple of BIC, piezo-electric gas wands for lighting our candles, which we use at night in winter to give the living room a cosy ambience. Wish I'd checked them before buying them.


One ran out last night and I tried to refill it, only to discover it wasn't refillable - there's no nozzle to insert a gas cannister into. Looked again at the e-Bay advert and yes, they're advertised as not refillable.

Rather a waste of money and resources when they cost £3.99 a pop. I'm surprised BICC are allowed to make them. There again, many gas cigarette lighters are the same - this is just bigger and uses a lot more plastic.
