Upon arriving in Norfolk on Monday evening, I tried to use our back-up stove for the first time: a single ring burner, with Campingaz CP250 disposable canisters.
The canisters had been in the boot for months, still in their bubble wrap packaging.
After a few minutes, the stove shut off completely and only after some research, I realised that the canisters were too cold, despite us driving 5 hours that day.
Simply immersing the canisters in warm water for a few minutes solved the problem. Had the site washrooms been closed, there would have been some fraught attempts to heat one canister with another, in a pan of water, using the briefly available gas from each!
