The guy behind the till at one petrol station (somewhere near Cheshunt IIRC, this was about 18 months ago) got really upset when I tried to pay him, saying that he was supposed to fill my tank, and I shouldn't have done it myself. He had been busy processing the payment of the car on the other side of the pump and so he hadn't been able to stop me. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

Why do I get a horrid premonition that'll be the next beggar wheeze? Hulking grey-bearded unaccompanied minors hanging around petrol stations offering / threatening to fill your tank in if you pay / refuse to pay them a bribe. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

It’s standard in South Africa too, most attendants fill your car, wash your windscreen and check your oil if you want. Then again they also sometimes syphon gas into containers (instead of your car) or start pumping without resetting the pump if you not paying attention dirty buggers ____________________ Observation is the greatest source of wisdom. |

I had never done anything other than use a self service fuel pump until my first day riding in Ireland (about 1991).
I pulled in to a small country petrol station, put my bike on its centre stand and opened the fuel cap. I lifted the pump out of its cradle and as I turned to use it I found it being pulled out of my hand. For a few fleeting seconds I pulled back, half convinced I was being mugged and someone was going to run off with the pump.
Took me a while to realise that the big hairy bloke with the big hairy accent was going to do all the work for me and take the weird money with the scary faces from me.
