don't really notice it at the moment, may do in 2 weeks

it's not a photoshop by the way, must be a way of enticing people into buying their petrol

i heard the only reason a mobile is dangerous is in case you drop it and it creates a spark, is this right?

Mobiles cannot start a fire in a petrol station by using them or ringing or any other normal use.

Dropping it and the battery causing a spark I suppose is more realistic but it's harder than you think to ignite petrol.

It's the fumes that ignite rather than the liquid itself
