Thanks for the warning.

I have recently moved to Southern Ireland and almost all bottled gas there is 
Butane.  I have had
to convert my Sievert burner to Butane because the only Propane I can find 
within a 30 mile radius
of home is in 72lb bottles!

Also, the regulators have different fittings to UK, both for Butane and 
Propane.  So much for
standarisation.
