    I think he has misunderstood a great many things. I'm not even sure he is retired, probably has a job and turns up for it everyday and thinks it's his house.

    If he worked with me I would put him in a corner and give him a laptop and say to him go and post stupid things on internet forums....ahhh there you go.

        Of course fuel isn't fuel you idiot!

        To prove the point, I've just pushed 500 small pieces of coal into my petrol tank, and what a surprise, it doesn't work!

        Now, anyone an idea on how to get them back out again?

          Coal soaks up all the fuel. So you just need to refill it now.

                Although I doubt brillo has, it never ceases to amaze me the number of people who misfuel their car. Potential Darwin winners if you ask me.

                      There was a time the UK encouraged diesel use.

                      Anyway, car collected. £200 bill.
