Dr Watson Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 For anyone interested, the small arrow beside the pump on the petrol gauge indicates what side your cap is. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I minimise the amount of time I spend at petrol stations as there are too many Muslims there. I just use the pay-at-the-pump thing then leave as quickly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venti Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 1 hour ago, PB 4.2 said: I've always considered the petrol station ( never 'gas' station) as a kinda church for the car enthusiast. Somewhere free of cyclists, where you can top up your tank and dream about the open road and how many miles of pleasure you're buying. Generally speaking, you encounter a better class of person at a petrol station but occasionally some selfish rogue spoils the ambience, sadly this happened to me today. Picture the scene, I'm returning back to the Ceed with a 250ml bottle of Irn Bru, some Golden Wonder ( salt n vinegar), and a Chomp, when some arsehole driving a caravanette shaves past my vehicle to use the further forward pump. Then - and I'm positively boiling by this point - he makes use of the extra long hoses to reach his offside petrol cap. Standing in a way that's blocking my save exit from the station. Naturally, I edged up really close to him positioning my bumper about 1 metre away, but I made sure all doors were locked because I wasn't seeking a physical alteration, and he looked considerably stronger. My smart positioning meant that after fueling he was forced into walking around the front of his monstrosity and I manoeuvred the Ceed past his vehicle and onto the open road.

pleslie99 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Folk that fill up at the pay at the pump then go inside to pay (usually with their card) anger me! Use a pump that doesn't have that facility and leave them free for us normal people who would like in and out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The only positive the invention of the caravan has ever provided the world is that exceptional episode of Father Ted. Excellent comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I like the halfwits who wait for pump thats free to suit the side of there car that the petrol cap is on and look at you in amazement when the hose actually stretches out when you jump the queue and start filling your car up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your opinion of Bullionfield? To me it's up there with the very best. All the positive amenities of a small service station and none of the negative (too big, slot machines, burger king) It's also the comfort of knowing you are back in Perthshire from a north eastern raiding excursion.

heedthebaa Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 2 hours ago, Tynieness said: I wonder how much a caravan costs for the average owner per holiday, by the time you take into account insurance, maintenance costs, site costs etc on top of the purchase price of them. Never seen the point in them tbh, I recall my next door neighbour dragging his poor kids all over the country to justify its existence and the poor b*****ds spending their time hiding from the rain at some awful hellhole. On average it's around £30 a night, but for £30 a year you can join the caravan and camping club then it costs less than £20 a night on their sites. Insurance is around £80 HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The c***s that don't actually pick a pump to queue at but instead wait in no man's land waiting for a pump to become available leading to the queue backing up onto the main road.
