Any DIY store will sell you Methylated Spirits (the same thing).
In France 'Alcohol a Bruler' is the same.

I think you may struggle to find it anywhere in the UK, except in Industrial quantities, and after answering a lot of impertinent questions.
Meths is basically the same thing, but with an added pong which isn't always too good if you're feeling a bit queasy anyway.....

Not quite the same i`m afraid.
Methylated spirits ("metho") is a mixture of ethyl alcohol (95%) and methyl alcohol (%5). The methyl alcohol is poisonous and is added to prevent the methylated spirits being used as cheap drinking alcohol.
Ethanol's formula is C2H5OH.
Methanol's formula is CH3OH.
Funny how I cant spell pedantic? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

And I forgot to add while trying to be a smartarse--Meths works perfectly well in Bayliner hobs----well it worked well in my Searay hob. Can be a sod to light if you dont have any of those super long matches though.
