Has anyone seen this?

Possibly one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It's like a comedy 😂😂

I watched it but just don't get what is funny. Totally confused. Perhaps I missed the point?

That out of control hose could have killed someone.

And imagine if someone was on their way to a job interview (not necessarily at the Treasury) and wearing the only interview clothes they can afford. And then get sprayed with that shit.

I do worry about climate change but this is totally the wrong way to go about things Note how its the things that get big publicity like the Treasury and Fashion Week. I dont see them protesting outside schools that change the uniform every 5 mins.

What a disgrace. Pity the people who have to clear up this mess. Hope the perpetrators are charged with criminal damage.

Idiots. Hate them

Glad it's not just me who can't bear them

They demonstrate their desire to save the planet with a huge waste of gallons of water & fossil-fuelled fire engine. Awesome.

saw this on the news. what a bunch of twats. imagine how much water and chemicals that will have to be used to clean that up.

AutumnRose1 · 04/10/2019 10:48

1800 litres of water apparently.

I see them in town with their plastic coffee cups etc. Never talk to them though because I'd lose it!

Contraceptionismyfriend · 04/10/2019 10:50

1800L?!
Is that right?! I'm not saying your lying @AutumnRose1 , just absolutely shocked. What a bunch of wankers.

AutumnRose1 · 04/10/2019 11:26

I saw the figure here

If you picture a litre and then think of the force of the jet hose I think it makes sense?

PhillipJennings It's a decommissioned fire engine and you can even - gasp! - hire them yourself, should you wish, for weddings, fairs and parties to drive around and amaze your guests while real engines with real crew head to emergencies.

and a decommissioned fire engine that still has the ability for a high pressure hose to be used is so unbelievably sensible isn't it? I mean who wouldn't want to hire it for their wedding and hose down their guests?

Grin or the ultimate revenge on the bridegroom’s mother who interfered too much in the wedding plans!

RedDogsBeg · 04/10/2019 22:19

Dapplegrey Judging by the Wedding threads on here that's an excellent idea, c'mon quick let's pitch it to Dragons Den, just imagine the combinations of fluid we could offer!Grin
