BBC NEWS | England | Devon | M5 shut after LPG Land Rover fire

nope he aint got back yet - still crying ont hard shoulder :hurt: .

The fire brigade are fookin wusses when it comes to LPG.
There was a poor bastid from round ear who'd just spent a fortune on a nearly new winnebago style camper van. There was a tiny fire in the engine compartment (it was a doozel injun) so he called the brigade, they arrived within a few minutes and it was still a very small fire, confined to the engine compartment. But, because there was a propane canister in the back of the van (about 30 fookin feet away from the fire!) they wouldn't go near it.
They just closed the road and let the fooker burn. Wimps.
The propane canister never didn't explode, even though the van was gutted after about an hour.
And the fookin main road was closed fer about 4 hours.
