Done it many times. If you really insist, I'll do it tonight and film it. Although I don't have Mexican beer, or any beer in a clear bottle, so it will leave open to claims of slight of hand etc. Tell you what, *you* try it isntead. > The beer pops out all over the place.

This is why they wear teeshirts in Mexico. <face palm> I was wearing a guayabera[1], maybe that's what made the difference? [1] this might be a minor embellishment of the truth. -- Dnc

The icing on the > cake is they charge you rent for the tank. In our case Shell just stopped supplying because of aforementioned H&S issue, but we spoke to Calor and they offered a cracking deal - they would pay Shell's removal fee, and supply a new tank and plumbing for �100, plus rental at lower than Shell, plus prices lower than Shell, plus �250 credit on our gas account. Only problem was, said H&S rules meant that the excavations and groundworks we would have had to do were nearly �3k, even with a lot of DIY. -- Rob_P UKRM(at)indqualtec.co.uk uppercase(d) BBIWYMC#1 BOG#11?

Blanket statements aren't always right and they're definitely not the best way to show how intelligent your thought processes are. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19

As I got near, I caught > myself thinking just that. Guess that means I'm ancient, now. I recently had reason to go back where I was brought up and it's still all fields. That *really* was quite a surprise, as I expected it to have been built up/over years ago. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 |
