    ...Have you got room for another shed? ..That gives you more room to sort out the first one?

    Sadly, no... ; )

    @Levi Tomey
    They sure are mate. If you don't have a shed in Australia you are un Australian, does that help.

    Sheds in Australia can be very large (eg a shearing shed; a machinery shed).

    There’s a song by John Williamson, The Shed, with the line “all Australian boys need a shed”.

    Those little things that people put garden tools in don’t really qualify as sheds in Australia.;)

    In Australia a garage is either a place to put your motor vehicle in at home or on the farm; or a place to take your vehicle to to get fixed.

    Also, the link said “Over 50”. If you say that’s not atleast slightly old, you’re probably over 50.

    Well, i can't speak for everyone (and certainly don't want to try!), but i am most certainly over 50 :thumbup:

    We can't all be young whippersnappers..:)

    Why so deep? Who asked the question?;)

    @Tony Press This is my only Coleman remotely similar to a Tilley, and it’s not nearly as bright as any of @Buggerlugs Tilleys. image.jpg

    It looks pretty good to me. Quite honestly, it is very difficult to judge unless the lamps are side by side. That is a 300cp Coleman (I assume), and I have similar Coleman lanterns and many Tilleys.

    Some mantles give a very white light; some mantles a warmer colour. Can you compare your Coleman to a similar power Coleman?

    Cheers

    Tony

    @Tony Press Thats a 242c and I assume is 300cp. I also have a 200a on the way so I can compare them.

    Nah, I have a shed in the UK. I thought we all had sheds" Fine place to do the lantern stuff! (I'd not be allowed to do it anywhere in the house, apparently "Lanterns are dirty and smelly")

    Aha, when you live a alone, nobody can stop you from working on your dirty lanterns in the house.
