Morning everybody. Welcome along to your free podcast for today, Monday the 27th of September,

or as we prefer to call it, no petrol day. It makes it a lot easier. As I was driving in this morning,

Now we all remember but let's not tell them, okay, because it makes it more entertaining.

People, there was a woman who actually filled up a tin bath in her kitchen with petrol.
