Surely that can't be right?

Also, at the oil change the, lers call it oil, wasn't a mix of oil and water, to my mind it was oil/petrol mix as oil and water would not mix together but oil and petrol would. The fluid I drained out was left in the workshop for a good week before I disposed of it and it didn't seemed to have separated at all. I'm wondering if there is/was something sticking ie. Float needle in one carb that's allowing the engine to flood massively while switched off,  which it has done twice that I initially attributed to the kids giving it a fistful as they walked past, and this has dumped fuel down the bores and into the sump?
