Sorry Briar - here is the link.
"Update on the blast - and yet these Turkish people all smoke in petrol stations!!!"
But in Turkey they do smoke and use mobile phones in petrol stations.
Get the gist - working with gas!

You are saying he was smoking (or using his mobile phone) then?
Just stating how unsafe the smoking aspect is though, which they do in nearly every petrol station I have seen in Turkey. We are also advised in the UK not to use a mobile phone in the petrol stations, but the guy had a mobile phone in the truck which caused the explosion.

I apologise to a degree for elongating this debate but I can't appreciate why the tragic death of one poor guy would lead to a sweeping statement and criticism of a whole country of people.
