Hi Dentman,
I mentioned the full tank when describing the vehicle.
In my boringly civilised residential street, I am not programmed to store lots of petrol. I do have ONE jerry can ... somewhere, but frankly can't be naffed to suck it out ... and anyway, I'd be reluctant to pour it into Barbara's car (still only done about 2,500 miles since last Summer.
Two houses ago, I had a Maran cockeral that crowed at 2.30AM every morning, a couple of pigs in the pig-sty, and a half-shire mare and her foal in the coal cellar, several Land Rovers (or bits of), a Grey Fergie in the lane, a Suzuki 250cc Quad in the garage ... plus several more ponies, and a billy goat on my 7.5 acres, up the hill. For some reason, the neighbours seemed to love us all.
Maybe they thought I was better than the alternative .... at least two young car crims have died in the back lane behind us, one neighbour came home at 3AM and was savaged by what he called a pit-bull.
Hmmm! that PB thingy got my terrier by the throat. The owner just stood there, said it wouldn't let go until my dog was dead. Barbara and a friend tried to persuade it to let go, bucket of water, hitting with sticks. No avail. Eventually Barbara hit it between the eyes with a house brick. It let go.
A week later, it's owner came home and was savaged by his dog. Ambulance, fire engine, dog handlers, etc. Eventually it was shot by a police marksman. at 3AM. It all happens in the Swansea Valley.
Barbara was concerned that she might have damaged it's brain. Don't mess with Welsh women (Google
"Jemina the Great" ... i think it was twelve French soldiers that SHE captured when foreign troops last landed on British soil).
