Oh god, I agree completely.
Sadly, he must realise that there ARE many people in this country with chuff-all common sense; so suggesting decanting petrol into billycans is just retarded.

No,
storing fuel in a Jerrycan is fine.

On reflection, if I'd've anticipated this shitstorm just by posting this bbc story then I'd've posted a dog video.
You're right, he DIDN'T suggest that people decant petrol in their kitchens, but I do believe his comments were massively irresponsible. This country is populated by idiots. I'm amazed this woman has managed to survive to her 40s.

tbh, I am regretting posting this link,
almost as much as some of the late-night, drunken internetting I used to do.

even more irresponsible
is that fact that he suggested we store large quantities of petrol in our kitchen

...not just that-
dumb people aren't known for their responsible attitude to contraception.

I read something about taxi drivers filling up wheelie bins with petrol
and being surprised when the bottoms melted and leaked. Might be a crock though, but I wouldn't be surprised

Happened 12 years ago in the fuel crisis. Melty bins all round. Someone also got stopped from trying to fill up a water butt in the back of their car.
Some people are just fucking stupid. Why on earth would you need to listen to the government for advice constantly? Read a newspaper, take sensible precautions based on your personal needs. It's not rocket science.
If some thick bint can't see the dangers in decanting flammable liquids into unsuitable containers next to a lit oven it's hardly the responsibility of anyone else but herself.
What is truly terrifying is how someone so stupid managed to get a driving license in the first place.
