What are the fuel prices like in your areas??

For things that don't fit into a category. i.e. non-motor related subjects.

Round about the £1.30 mark here. But the cheaper petrol station I use can bother off now, after he tried to accuse me of giving him £10 note instead of a £20. Robbing arsehole.

Just seen this at the top of the list and saw my name as the author. Then noticed it was from 2009!

I'd be happy to go back to the 2009 price now!

Oooh, I hate those kind of disputes in shops and that. So hard to prove/disprove. Never pleasant..

About 3 years ago, I was dashing out to work and my wife said 'there's money for petrol on the worktop there', so I've grabbed it and stuck it in my pocket. Drove in the BP outside my work later that day, bunged £20 worth in, pulled out the banknote and...yes, it's a tenner. Not another coin on me, I wondered what to do. Girl at the till hardly looked up, slid me this official looking letterheaded BP "Insufficient Means Of Payment" form, which you sign, promising to pay as soon as you can and that.

Y'know, I never did square them up. When BP took absolute ages to stop polluting the Gulf Of Mexico last year, I was crippled with guilt, thinking: "It's partly my fault. There's BP out there, trying their damnedest, and it's like folk like me just don't care enough.."

That day, I swore to myself, I'd never again try to exploit the goodwill of the oil industry.

I imagine their policy towards the cash-short will become less accomodating if people don't eventually pay up...

The what a wee-wee about it is, I have been regularly using that station for a few years now, mainly on the bike, but sometimes in the father in laws car. They know me, yet they do that. Bunch of cowboy ethnically challenged fuckwits. No wonder folk tar all Asian petrol station staff with the same brush. :evil:

It was probably a genuine missunderstanding. It doesn't make sense to get you riled up over short change when all they want to do is clone your credit card.

That's just racism. Keep that to yourself.
