Next to my brother's house he was saying a crane was lifting a small container over the back of the big Care Home next to him a few weeks ago. I said its probably a generator incase power goes off. Read today that Gap Hire made its highest earnings ever this year and I know why, renting out generators. Not a bit of wind up here all week so our dream of wind turbines powering Scotland has fell flat on the ground. We don't have any coal fire power stations because Greens and SNP say we don't need them. Today I read England has fire up their coal fire power stations and gave the go ahead for a new coal mine, it all points to power cuts at end of week. ?I have generator, loads of torches, butane camp heater if things go off....

Still illegal without appropriate signage etcDon't store any at home, its in my Lock-up.
It’s still illegal to store more than 30 ltr in a lock up unless you have informed the fire service petroleum officer in writing and it’s got to be stored in appropriate containers , having said all this it’s very unusual for ones to register it , we quite often attend fires ware much larger quantities are stored without any paperwork , I cannot remember anyone being prosecuted for this , but in the event of a fire and if rapid fire spread is proven due to excess fuel storage it can easily be a custodian sentence , and if anyone dies then it’s manslaughter charge .Still illegal without appropriate signage etc
