The Stradivarius of oil drums
The street finds its own uses.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc has one word to offer on the subject of its musical oil barrels.
“What?” says Shell spokeswoman Alexandra Wright in London.[…]
“It’s officially against corporate policy for us to hand out oil barrels,” the 37-year-old Mitchell frets. “We really don’t know what to do about all this.”
For many of the world’s estimated 35,000 panmen, the sweetest-sounding music comes from the 55-gallon, 20-gauge red steel oil barrels made in Shell’s lubricant mixing plant on Barracones Bay in Trinidad.
