Anyone going near Dartford from Yorkshire this week?

1. Walk to the end of your road with a petrol can
2. Stand at end of road for less than 5 minutes
3. Someone will stop and ask if you have run out of fuel and offer a lift
4. Explain to them you need to get south, please take me nearer motorway
5. Wait at motorway junction for less than 1 minute
6. take lift and explain what you are doing, they will laugh and take you some junctions towards your destination
7. Repeat 5 & 6 until you are in Dartford

I did this when I sold a car to a dealer once. Opened boot to realise I'd had left my nice metal can in there, and no way was I leaving it!!!

I got from Huddersfield (coincidence or what!!!) to Sheffield and never waited, Not even a minute. By the time I walked across the motorway junction to the on sliproad, someone had stopped and offered me a lift

If i was ever to want to hitch around Europe, I am going to cut a jerry can in half, and fit hinges and a lock and use that as a suitcase !!!

You could use this to take some mushy peas and a pukka pie south, so you don't have to eat any fancy southern muck, slip a can of John Smiths in there too

 

If I ever do decide to go on a hitcher type killing spree, I will hide my handcuffs and knives in a petrol can!!!!
