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