• Question: Is it true that using a phone in a petrol station will cause it to blow up as they did an experiment on top gear and it didn't?

      No, the chances of the mobile phone blowing up a petrol station are tiny, maybe less than a million to one. That said, there are millions of people using petrol stations all the time, and seeing as nobody wants a single one of them to blow up, its probably for the best.

      I’m sure I’ve used my phone in a petrol station before now, and it’s never blown up (thank goodness!).
