Morrison’s filling station mystery solved!
Last night Janet asked if I knew what had been happening at Morrisons filling station yesterday.She had tried to get on to fill up but had been directed away by firemen. The station was closed and a fire tender with flashing blue lights was in attendance.
Well, today, I found out! Whilst in town I met a good friend of mine who shall remain nameless. Earlier in the week he had taken his rather elderly campervan up to the Potteries to have a new petrol tank fitted. Yesterday he popped down to Morrisons to fill it up but when he had put in over sixty pounds worth he thought something must be wrong! Then he realised he was standing in petrol which was gushing out from under his vehicle! It would seem that the garage had failed to properly connect a seal.
Petrol everywhere! Forecourt evacuated. Cars abandoned. Fire brigade called. Emergency procedures activated. Garage closed for four hours. And a very red faced friend. As his son might say - ” Another fine mess you gotten yourself into!”
have your say
