Man troubling neighbour for cup of crude oil

Hoping to rekindle the friendliness and community spirit of a bygone era, a man has been spotted asking his neighbour for a cup of crude oil. 

With the war in Iran disrupting international oil supplies, Simon Williams knocked on number 25’s door this weekend hoping his neighbour would be able to help. 

“I know the traditional thing is to ask for a cup of sugar, but I thought I’d bring the practice into the 21st-century,” said Simon Williams, clutching his mug of crude oil. 

“Luckily, Sheila was more than happy to oblige. She asked if there was any particular type of oil I was looking for, but I said I didn’t mind. She poured me a big ladle of black gold from the barrel in her living room with no questions asked. It was very kind of her.

“I didn’t want to take the piss, so I brought over a smaller mug instead of my Sports Direct one. I mean, Sheila seemed like such a nice woman that she probably would’ve let me take a whole bucket home with me.

“That’s what community spirit is all about. It’s incredible how everyone just pulls together whenever the Strait of Hormuz is being blocked. 

“I’ve told Sheila she’s more than welcome to knock on my door whenever she needs something. I might drop round later with some uranium just as a little thank you.”
