Which do you use and are they ok?

I use Asda London Road Coventry pay at pump never had problem there but they don't clean the forecourt very often so can be slippy

also use Morrisons Holyhead Road Coventry Ok never been asked to remove helmet staff always say hello fore court is clean

also use BP Willenhall Lane Coventry fore court okay but BIG speed bump coming in one way so big can't ride over it at any speed tend to push the bike over it staff can be rude

Only regularly use BP - Chester Road, Birmingham. Can sometimes be slippy but staff always polite and never request to remove lid. Always let me off with .01p aswell, started doing it on purpose now Laughing Only use it as its the closest, but on ride-outs and random 'oh shit, i need to fill up' i'll just use anywhere, naturally.

I just try and pick the cheapest one, I have never been asked to remove my helmet, or been questioned about filling the bike up while sat on it.

Although I tend to use the Texaco ones just because I have a Texaco star reward card. Not that I have actually got any rewards from it.

This is an odd thread. Laughing

the Idea was to rate stations that you use on a regular basis Laughing

I also use random stations when away from home but if you find a station thats no good or is excellent
for those who can be bothered list it and it will give new people just starting out an idea which stations to avoid or to use Thumbs Up

locally I am very, very fussy about where and even what time I fill up, though I am a grumpy old bastard, once I'm on a journey I just get it when I need it.

Always use the cheapest one when local as most are 3p more per litre, anything else is up to when it needs fuel in it.

I use Tracy's Garage just outside of Leyland for the bike as It's the only place nearby that does super unleaded.

The car gets filled up at Morrisons in Leyland as it's the cheapest around, does pay at pump and is 200yds from my house.

Not really bothered, but I pretty much always use the Morrisons at Holyhead road in Coventry purely because I live about 200 metres away. Laughing

I always use Shell wherever possible. I get good service from the one on Talbot Road, Blackpool, probably because I go there most Sunday mornings about 9am Laughing Tesco in Blackpool always seems to have diesel by the pumps and staff don't give a damn about it when told Twisted Evil

Anywhere except the Shell on Amen Corner, there's a right lecherous creep works in there.

I used to use the BP off M5 junc12 (now Esso) but the forecourt is concrete and the trucks spilt so much diesel it became dangerous to use it. So I moved to using the BP in Gloucester (Westgate St) and I get on really well with the staff, so well in fact that one lent me money when I'd forgotten my wallet Doh!

However, a week ago Friday there was a different girl on all on her own, badly dyed blonde, skinny as heroin chic, pierced, tattooed in an ugly way and with the charm of a freshly laid turd. The silly bint decides to use my card once I'd left (I assume having the full number on the receipt counterfoil, and using the "card holder not present" function) to pay for 2x£30 top-ups on her Tesco mobile. I go in this Friday, after cancelling my old card, receiving a new card, and informing the bank's fraud dept of my suspicions to find the bint has "been replaced", by a nice brunette with a lovely manner. Thumbs Up
