    I still think you have the wrong word.
    Pointy like a p-r-i-c-k.

      Peoplesoft it doesn't matter if I was wrong about most foreign cars having the pump on the drivers side, many do, but the point I was making is there is no need to queue for ages for a pump on the filler side.

      I was trying to be helpful, but at times like this I wonder, why do I bother with this anally retentive site?
      That's very laudable of you, but I cannot imagine that anyone who reads or posts on here wouldn't have thought of it.

      Of course it doesn't matter if you were wrong about which cars have the filler on which side; I just have an aversion to stuff that people have made up being posted as fact - hence, for example I get fed up of people claiming that Thatcher cut taxes (which isn't true) - I just can't help it.

          There seems to be no petrol to be had anywhere around Taunton. According to my colleagues.

            The bloke who's been sat opposite me for a week has, along with his wife, been topping up his car every other day "in case there's a fuel shortage caused by those panic buyers". Tw@t! he's deadly serious about it.

            He's a Contractor by the way!

              They won't need any until the internal combustion engine penetrates that far. Well, unless there's a cider shortage.

                It hadn't dawned on my to ask if they had ever had petrol in the past.
