IPT diesel does a Fairouz trick

Well, IPT diesel does its own Fairouz. The lyrics, "in days of cold, in days of rain" taken from Fairouz's "habyatak bil sayf" (I loved you in the summer) were used by IPT to talk about their own diesel availability and delivery. Do note, a lot of Lebanese homes have diesel heaters (mine included) and yes, delivery of large quantities - depending on the severity of winter - is not unheard of (average twice a year). Apologies for the bad image quality but honestly, the ad is positioned above their Dora petrol station, you can't get a good shot while walking and you can't get a good shot from the moving bus on top of the bridge. So you'll have to trust me on this one.
