Current cost of fuel.

Are you sure they aren't Molotov cocktails, shiney?

 

I have been served petrol from a garage in Killin, many years ago, where you pulled up to the kerb and the man brought the hose across the pavement to fill you up. No forecourt.
Like this one here, only a garage, not a shop.

 

Shops around here used to have pumps like that inside the store for dispensing paraffin.
Saw paraffin on sale for £19.99 for 4 ltrs the other day.

 

You tend to see it in rural villages and on the islands where motorcycles are the main form of transport. Many motorcycle rentals in Thailand sold fuel by the bottle.

 

No matter how neat petrol in bottles look, it seems only one step away from a major disaster.

 

Yesterday saw the end here of the government subsidy on fuel. Instead of a blanket reduction, they'll be offering a one-off €100 cheque but only to workers on a low income who can prove that they need their vehicule to get to work.

 

I have not heard of any disasters in Off Licences with bottles of Whisky or Vodka.
