Time for a line of WD40?

Monday January 17, 2005 20:42

A Swindon bar owner is spraying WD40 on toilets seats to stop customers from using them to snort cocaine.

Carl Brown who owns The Mail Coach Inn, Fleet Street, says the solvent, often used on engines and for DIY, causes nose bleeds when mixed with the drug.

Mr Brown acted after becoming aware that cocaine use was on the increase in the Wiltshire town.

“Before people started coming in here, I thought I’m going to stop it before it gets a grip,” he said.

I’m not sure which is worse for you but I can guess which one is more fun. More from BBC News.
