BOC account /bottle rental = really spenny.
Every year I forget to cancel my account, and wince when the invoice arrives.
For the 'hobbyist', I believe there is a mob in Dartford that does the gas, and you just pay a refundable deposit on the bottles, rather than a rental.
Does mean going to dartford though......

Buy the gas and pay the cylinder deposit. Use it over a weekend, or years... Return and exchange just for the cost of the gas. Or hand it back and get your deposit back ☺ -
I use Bennets car parts in tottenham for Argon and o2.

Just pay bottle deposit, no rental.
I also use London Gases for propane, again no deposit and they come and collect deliver free of charge.
BOC are a rip off if you aren't using much gas.
Also, i think Oxy Propane is just as good, if not better than Acetylene for brazing/silver soldering, gets plenty hot and is cleaner/less sooty. A lot easier to get hold of propane without a bottle rental too..

Or just HTFU, and get a BOC account.
