I am confused by Campingaz and calor gas and whether you can use a campingaz cooker and regulator with a calor gas cylinder? This may be a really stupid question!?!

calor gas uses different regulators to campingaz bottles, you can however use either calor or campingaz with your stove but you will need a different regulator for both - if in doubt visit your local camping equipment retailer.
Different gases, propane, butane, need a different amount of air to burn correctly, and gas off (turn from liquid to gas) at different temperatures.
The regulators give out different pressures of gases, so by varying the amount of gas, the cooker will still burn correctly as it mixes in the same amount of air.
If you buy the correct regulator for the bottle, it will work with the cooker.
I use calor and camping gaz depending on where I am, and what temperature it is. (Propane when it's cold)

It's not a stupid question as Camping Gaz go to great care with their marketing to give you the impression you need to buy their gas bottles.
Which, of course, you don't. Any gas bottle with the right regulator will do the job.
Not just Calor, but you can buy "Shell Gas" in big, no-deposit, bottles from Shell service stations and you can even buy bottles that you can charge up yourself from garages that sell LPG for cars.
As long as you have the regulator that matches the bottle, you're fine.
