    If your unsure, just don't do it. When plastic tanks came out, every ned got themselves a cordless electric drill and a bucket. Others will do it syphoning, others will frighteningly knock in a spike built for the job.

    When was it that we had a major riots all over the Country ?
    It must have been about 35/40yrs now i bought my first terrace house. I was only there a year or two when we had the Toxteth Riots, the lad next door knocked one night to ask could we syphon some petrol from my car. He wanted to join in the riots and wanted to make some petrol bombs.
    It wasn't long after that i put the house back up for sale.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
