Bloody inflation.

When I was driving the length of Africa in '94/ '95, my car (Toyota Landcruiser diesel) had a weird thing with the oil, especially at altitude. You could get the engine hot as you like, take the sump plug out, and nothing would come out. The oil thickened to something resembling bitumen. It caused us a real headache.

I'm scratching my head over that one!

Not that mundane as it involves quite a serious incident. Yesterday a 14 year old girl and a 52 year old woman were arrested in Accrington town centre for assaulting 2 police officers. Someone as usual and as expected these days filmed the incident on their phone. Accrington has too many feral brats causing trouble,especially now that their far too long summer holidays mean they're 'bored' and they want 'a bit of fun'. All she had to do was go quietly,but she thought she'd resist arrest so it's her own fault. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.u...ce-officer-slap-suspect-at-accrington-market/

Crap oil, extremely high sulphur levels in the fuel, and a weird altitude compensation device in the 'cruiser engine were the factors that we came up with around the campfire. None of us had any chemistry knowledge, so we couldn't go further than that.

Yes,one of the comments following the article mentioned that restraining method.

"POW WOW1 hr ago

1They use the approved nose distraction technique in mental institutes, so I'd say the slap is a lot less harmful here.
