Still working from home but I dashed out today to fill up before all those idiots start panic buying..

My biggest concern is having enough fuel in the car so I can drive it out of the garage to give me space to work on the bikes.😂😂

I used to pass several stations on the way to work. Two had automatic pay at pump pumps fitted. They both had them removed about five years ago and built bigger shops for you to wander through before you could pay.

The wife’s new car turned up yesterday, on probably the most appropriate day of the year so far.

That's a good point. Our local 'independent' garage has just 2 pumps, petrol and diesel and a man comes out and fills the car for you. In Wainfleet, also not far from us, there is a petrol station that is that old, the pumps are still on the pavement and you just pull up by the curb and they come out and serve you. But, with both places, their fuel is usually at least 1p per litre cheaper than the big sellers.

There is a small filling station on a housing estate in Duffield that still (I used it circa 2015 ish) had mechanical dispays in Gallons only - no money on the dials!

Not as bad as when I was in Cyprus a few years ago - the out of town Taverna had a hand wound mechanical pump.
