So, that's what Fletcher was doing when he wee'd into the petrol tank of the prison van in the Porridge movie Classic.

Just think how far you'd be able to go in your car after a night out on the old beer (waiting long enough to sober up, obviously!). At least it'll stop landlords piping it all straight back into the barrels in the cellar anyway.

Can you believe how ropey the engine will sound after topping up with "morning wine" after a night on the lash? Cars'll start crashing into each other demanding: "are you looking at my passengers!"

Ye gods - can you imagine what the AA man will do if you run out of fuel and call for help?

Emergency roadside kits now come with a diuretic standard.

It would be handy if you couldn't wait for the services - keep the tallywacker out of view from passing motorists, and top up the feul at the the same time!

No, I've lead a sheltered life!

I misread that to read, "I am a horrible old essex." and the whole time I'm thinking, "Darn British slang.'

I'm still trying to figure out what a Punter is and why teaching them a magic trick is hard.
