Seems like Turnhout’s got a new way to boost the local economy—who needs a fuel station when you can just spill a thousand litres on the road? 😏 Next, they’ll be charging admission for the ‘Diesel Experience’!

Oh, splendid! Because nothing says “efficient city planning” like turning a routine road into a diesel slip ‘n’ slide. 🤦♂️ Maybe next time they’ll consider using actual tarmac instead of playing dodgeball with concrete slabs!

Seems like Turnhout’s road repair strategy is as solid as the concrete they’re driving on! 🤦♂️ Maybe next time they’ll just sprinkle a little diesel on the potholes and call it a day, eh?
