Can any of you please help? We use these spills every single day in our house. I used to buy them in our local newsagent - now closed down, and more recently from eBay in large bundles like this - 250979293833. Now I can't find them ANYWHERE! I've googled them and looked on Amazon etc. I know it's a lot to ask, but would you have a peep in YOUR local newsagent to see if they are still available anywhere. I would be more than happy to send an envelope along with the postage cost to the newsagents if they have them. I hope somebody can help. Thank you.

My SIL is going to Chester tomorrow and she's going to look in the old fashioned tobacconists shop. Fingers crossed.
Apparently a stick of spaghetti will light and burn like a taper.
Im curious-why do they have to be coloured?

LOL Woof but they don't LOOK the same.
Try Evans the Ironmongers in Menai Bridge, horseshoes....they are very helpful, and if they have none in stock they may well order some for you !!

Good idea Redman - I forgot about them. I know Elwyn Evans. I'll pop there in the week. x
Wolfgang -
The power of AB is such that I was impelled to get up and check out your claim and my findings are that:
It was most inadequate, not burning successfully at all.
It makes a dreadful smell.
There's less spaghetti for tea now.
