    I am trying to purchase some isopropyl which I have been told is the best thing to clean my vinyl collection. I was also told it can be bought in any chemist shop or superstore but so far I have not had any luck except for a half-litre bottle for �£5.99. I don't really need one that size as I think half of that would last me for ages.

    Anybody got any information please?

    jj, just buy any cheap rubbing alcohol (from a Lidl or Aldi for under a quid) ... it's isopropyl. If you can't find it, use vodka (potato) but never gin (juniper).

    You could always fortify your vino with what's left, as long as you don't mind going blind
