Phone him up and ask him......can't get any more direct than that!


And as for this
There has never ever been a case of a fire started from a mobile phone at a refueling point. Ever.
This is probably true, most servo fires are from static jumping across from the victim, no doubt on a windy winters day and wearing synthetic materials.....you know those big zaps you get when you touch your car.

Truth is ask some folk from BP, they had a refinery explosion when a tradesman took his mobile phone into an area he should not have, commenced work, and his phone was called he answered..... and exactly that time was recorded by the phone company to the second.....BOOOM!!!!! Nothing else he was doing could have ignited the explosion at the time, and needless to say he was not able to deny the claim.

Thread drift off........
