fook 'emOriginally posted by vwdan View PostSo yeah, I do occasionally do this, but it can't have escaped your notice how insanely small a lot of forecourts are now? You should hand back your driving license then. I've got two local ones and parking forward of the pump would mean you're blocking people trying to get out or blocking the pump in front.
Wow. I'd take my business elsewhere after asking why exactly they do that.Originally posted by vwdan View PostAnd at least one of them refuses outright to turn the pump on if you reverse up, too.
Not sure I'd consider something that depreciates so fast as much of an asset. In any case it really would buff out in a few minutes. Modern car paint is strong stuff so as long as you don't dent the panel it's all easy to sort.Originally posted by vwdan View PostYeah, sorry about giving a tulip about the second most expensive asset I own.
Asda self-serve is the way forward. Cheap as chips, decent sized forecourt, no twat refusing to turn fuel on, and you don't have to talk to anyone.See You Next TuesdayComment

I hate the ****ers who decide to have a coffee before coming back out to their car and even worse are the ******* ****ers who don't even put petrol but park at a pump and do a bit of shopping, *******
