    I see that the Tesco petrol station was closed today due to "unexpected maintenance" I think the notice said. There were a group of people in those fluorescent jackets with clipboards walking around the main pump (where they put the oil in for the pumps). Cant recall what date it said it was reopening. Petrol prices were dirt cheap though 0.00 :p

    Wonder was it the NSAI, who were out in Tramore checking another petrol station.

    I used to work in Homebase. In event of a fire (in a shop full of chemical stuff that can go up in flames in minutes), our evacuation procedure was to leave ASAP after getting customers out and gather next to the petrol station for a headcount.

    In the event of a fire in the hardware store of chemicals, go to the petrol station 100ft away.

    Yeah.

    Yno those 5 or 6 aisles of paint and spirits? That would go up in a second. Paint cans fall onto the floor and spill, then whatever is dripping out onto the floor goes on fire. This happens in about 6 or 7 different aisles like a chain reaction then. Then Next and so on. We were always told, and I'm not paraphrasing, "Stay the **** away from the paint aisle if this places goes on fire".

    Miss that place sometimes. :(
