Chaos at £20,000 petrol giveaway

Unread postby Grifter » Fri 05 Sep 2008, 04:43:47

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')here have been angry scenes between motorists at a petrol station which is giving away £20,000 worth of fuel..........................A queue of about 30 cars snaked its way from the petrol station as more and more customers arrived for their free fuel.
Car horns sounded repeatedly as drivers on the other side of the road got snarled up in the congestion.
But customers filling up for nothing were very happy.

Hehe, a store near me was once giving away 10 free laptops to the first 10 customers and some people ended up in hospital. I wonder what will happen when the free fuel runs out!

IMHO, whatever happens, it won't be as bad as what is going to happen when fuel is no longer available at all.

Giving away something like gas during a recession is bad news.

All it takes is one jack-ass that wants to cut in line and it starts a riot.
