Where can I buy kerosene?
I have found an old (possibly from before I was born) kerosene lamp in the loft. Being a bit of an outdoor/survival nut, of course I have to make this work just to see the pretty flames as I get it wrong and burn myself horribly. The instructions are missing for added fun.
Anyway, my current lamps all run on gas so I've never needed to find kerosene. Any ideas?

Re: Where can I buy kerosene?
I did actually come back just now to say "I are not a terrorist".
However, now that I've been rumbled, I must cough to my plot to smuggle kerosene on board a United Airlines plane in a drinks bottle and then cause a small fire once I've found two sticks to rub together.
Praise Allah!

..which begs the question; Who'd be more offended for a foreigner thinking London was in Scotland, the Scots or the Londoners?

I always knew s|k was a pro Islam peace activist and now his site confirms it. More like that has been reported to Homeland Security.

Re: Where can I buy kerosene?
Hahah, that's funny. I wonder how they did that.
Edit: host is fixing it.
This is what it looked like for those that missed it:

Outdoor shops should still carry it, or try perhaps a local bottled gas depot.
