I bought one of the suitcase stoves as a backup last year and the gas feed was just pushed in, fell out and leaked profusely. Others have had ignition! mine went back the next day. Like KK above, when it comes to gas I'm wary but their other bits and bobs are grand cheapies.

B&M is a bit of a cheapie shop but you can find some good stuff in there. They sell allsorts.

No idea if there are any near you but you can do a search on their website.... Hope you find one.

Well, had a wonder round my local store on Thurs (Milton Keynes) and picked up one of those battery operated electric fly swatters that have been mentioned on here before. Also picked up some solar lights.
No much in my store though but they did have a good selection of outdoor lights.

Just a word about the Stoves... for an extra £2 you can get a similar suitcase stove from Go Outdoors... I haven't actually tried mine out yet - but from the reviews they sound a lot better.

2 weekends ago I bought 50 multi coloured solar lights to decorate the outside of our tent. Used them this weekend for the first time and very pleased with them. Had lots of comments on them and they were only £5.99. Wish I had bought more now, but nearest B&M to us is Wales plus a £5.50 toll!

I also brought some, mine were rubbish. Took them back and got a refund.
Nipped into Argos and got these http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1428744-10294381?url=http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4328496/Trail/searchtext%3ESOLAR+LIGHTS.htm last weekend they were priced at £9.99

Great shop B+M. My son, when just learning to read, mis-read it as BuM bargains, so that's what it stayed in my house! No reflection on their stuff though, great for the basics that you wouldn't want to spend a fortune on.
