The petrol vapours ignited and she suffered 40% burns across her body. It's also illegal for ordinary people to stockpile fuel under anti-terrorism legislation.In short. It's a complete balls up. Of course since the treasury has taken in an extra £32+ million since Wednesday in excise duty I doubt the government will see it as a balls up.</blockquote>
