Moderator Cynic Posted September 24, 2011 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2011 Filled the DT up today and went to que up. While in the que the coloured gentleman in front pipes up with his pump number, 11. Couple of seconds later the penny drops as the clerk repeats £7.48. Yes the man says. "OI" sayes i " Thats my fucking pump". All of a sudden the mans english becomes barely comprehensable with a lot of "so sorry my bad english"; bollocks he was trying to dodge the 80 odd quid he's put in his Q7.

Back in 91 I'd have had to work an entire night washing up just to fill me bike!!!! Old? You don't know you're born, young man! I worked my way through the latter years of school by pumping petrol (not sitting in some cosy kiosk pressing buttons, actually getting out there in all weathers) - one regular of mine had a Jag with twin tanks - it took nearly £25 to fill that up ............ with 5 star! No, not 5 Star the group: but the real man's fuel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up.yours Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 at the end of the day , your petrol has been paid for, you can leave with your fuel, it should then be up to him to persue you for the return of his money, if he can be arsed to run it through the justice system..

Noise Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I had a similar thing happen to me with a BMW driver, petrol station was full and he was behind me waiting, i nip in to pay for my fuel (only 2nd in the que) looks out to double check my pump number and lo and behold Mr BMW driver is out and moving my bike! but i always put my steering lock on (just in case wank knob turns up to take my bike) and as Mr BMW driver picks up my bike gose to turn the bars and near on drops my bike! Lets just say he didn't get his petrol from that station. Un fortunatly i didn't get to "correct him" in his "fo par" moment as there was too much of a crowd and you know who would be buggered by PC plod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1949 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 In the seventies when I worked on the pumps, it wasn't self service. I went out to the pump, activated the pump handle, put the nozzle in his tank hole and filled him up, went back into the booth and took his money. If anybody else came in they waited till I finished with him. Can anybody remember the two gallon rationing? What a nightmare for me, I had them queing twenty cars back up the road at about eight o'clock at night when the rest of the staff had buggered of home for the night. (normally it was alright pre rationaling) We had four pumps which meant eight spaces. Pandemonium! They started filling their own cars up, BUT, over half way through they re-tripped the pump handle so only had to pay for a 1/4 of their fuel. And the price of four star was £0.75p per gallon Bastards!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike1949 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hmmmmmmmmm about 1974 mike ? Spot on Blackhat. Although petrol did stay at that price for a couple of years. I remember that the Government tried to put petrol up to £1.00 per gallon to include road tax so the more you travelled the more you paid, but the public (company reps?) objected so much that it was abolished.

Moderator drewpy Posted September 30, 2011 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2011 I remeber my dad filling up the mini traveller, and going ape that it cost £5 for a full tank. £5 was all he'd say muttering as he drove off and us kids nose to the glass trying to ignore him, bless!

Mallory1 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Can still remember the proud day my dad entrusted me with the exciting mission of heading to the local petrol station to fill his petrol can with some 4 star. Could I manage this ultra high tech machinery all by myself????? Of course I could ...... but suddenly noticed a rather pretty young blonde laughing uncontrollably in the passenger seat of her boyfriend's car who shouted over "I think your done now mate." I looked down and realised that I had not only filled the petrol can but also covered the half the bloody forecourt because I was so busy checking out everything but the petrol pump. To this day I'm terrified of petrol cans ...... true story (ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up.yours Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 i don't know how far back your going with that one , but i do remember being told at the tills that i shouldn't realy be smoking when im filling up with fuel. health and safety then. ha their wasn't any....
