I wonder if anyone will be filling a wheelie bin this time :roll: ?
A bit off-topic (so decided to start new topic) but worth relating:
There's a filling station on the corner about 50 yards from where I work (residential area). This morning a 7.5 tonner filled up with unleaded. Needless to say, didn't make it off the forecourt.
He got a push off the pumps, & then promptly drained the lot out into about 2-dozen stack-and-store type boxes.
One of my colleagues noticed what he was doing, and mentioned it to the cashier, pointing out how dangerous it was, and the fact that if the petoleum officer happened by, the site would be closed down and heavily fined - 'ummmm?' was about the extent of the response.
When he enquired if (the manageress) was there, he was told no, but the asst mgr was - who promptly appeared. My mate mentioned how dangerous it was and was told 'Yeah..... the Police told him that as well'
Speechless, absolutely bloody speechless!
And eventually the bloke drove off with the petrol in the boxes in the back of his wagon.

Ah, no, see it would be that special non-volatile petrol, you know; the stuff thats perfectly safe for nob-heads to transport in open boxes :(stoopid): ......... wonder if he flicked his fag end out of the window.......................... :(bigsmoke):

What a pratt, he'll probably flog it, if it does'nt melt the boxes first!! :twisted:
Bloke at work this morning, panic buying and put 2/3 of a tank of unleaded in his diesel rover, then realised when he went to pay!!!
He even drove it home, said it was spluttering a bit!
In the garage today...big bill coming... we will hear the screams as money is surgically removed from him!!!
He is a real tight git!! :D

Anchor Surplas was on the news last night, they are flogging the 25 ltr jerricans like hotcakes, thing is half of them are old stock cause the red lead paint they have inside them are flaking away, looks like the garages in my area will be having a lot of work, with clogged filters, injector pumps and carbs in the near future :lol:
