I was in the pub t'other night chatting with a local farmer - seems he

diesel out of the farmyard tanks.
That in itself was bad enough, but it seems it's quite common for the
scrotes to leave the filler handle fixed open on the floor so that all
the diesel in the tank runs away.
If the farmer padlocks the filler to the tank, they simply cut the
hose.


Fill it with petrol instead of diesel.


Now that sounds like fun!

Not that I would suggest any such thing but I recall that the "standard"
thickening agent in a Molotov used to be pieces of a pair of tights.
Wikipedia differs and says: "Thickening agents such as tar, strips of tire
tubing, sugar, animal blood, XPS foam, egg whites, motor oil, rubber cement,
and dish soap have been added to help the burning liquid adhere to the
target and create clouds of thick choking smoke."
