The safety collar has expired and it looks pretty hammered. You'll have to get that serviced rather than a straight refill.

afaik its stil a legit bottle for exchange, it will just not go for refilling but for recycling/servicing... just take it to the right supplier again my knowledge is very limited but my supplier is liquide air and they use pink/purple collars, so it probably isnt one of thiers??

hmmmm dont think greene King service the public :( may be a problem exchanging it..
However as they are a major brewery you might find a friendly landlord who will slip it in with his and drop u a full one?? asking rarely offends :) especially if your buying beers.. perhaps a white lie and tell him u use it for welding not beer tho ;)
