Every time a Gas Van (or BT Van) is spotted, the quickest child would shout “Gas Van” and punch a mate as hard as he could on the arm. If nobody else saw the van, a reversal beating ensued. Verification is required, to avoid children just punching each other for no reason. Which would just be stupid.

The game whereby you kick the crap anyone in your school yard upon the sighting of a gas van. The only protection from a gas van attack is to shout " Gas Van no rebounds " loud enough that enough people hear you. Gas van drivers probably have quite a pessimistic view of children’s behaviour, seeing more than their fair share of mindless violence.
