I was going to suggest Adam's gas for welding gas but it seems their nearest stockist is over in Camelford, which I think is quite a trek from callington...

That's not too bad if it is cheap?? As I would just buy quite a lot at once and then store it while and I may time it for when I'm off somewhere down cornwall for the day :) what's the best gas to use for mig??

Best gas to use really is argon/co2 mix
(I use 5%)
While plain co2 gas will work, it's not technically an inert gas so you will probably get better results with the argon

I may possibly have to sell this as my car is costing me too much in fuel but I need to pay finance off and then need a deposit for a brand new fiesta :) would there be any interest from you guys?
