The fuel pump is long enough to stretch round, you imbecile.

I would openly laugh at someone doing that.

Openly.

Filling it yourself how does that work have to ask the chauffeur what all the fuss is about, when did they phase out the attendants then?

 

[jackanada]

Couple of points.
Pump fits across on my car but at Asda (Hollingbury) today I checked first before 'pay at pump' and putting my card in.
But more embarrassing is my Transit van. Cap on passengers side and iCAN NOT be filled from wrong side. Many times I've had to pull away and go all the way around when I've pulled in the wrong side.

I got caught out filling up a transit in a village in france, a single pump jobby and no way to turn round and come back facing the other way and I was pretty close to running on fumes.
Solution: firmly grasp hose, open drivers door, climb through cab and out passenger door, fill up. Enjoy the odd looks from locals (most smiled in a way that suggested they thought I was a loon, but were a little impressed)

I pulled onto the forecourt noted the little Seat patiently waiting for the right hand pumps.
Both left hand pumps were vacant.
I duly topped up, bought a paper, stood in the queue, got served, sauntered back to the car, left the forecourt, filtered into the traffic, drove round the petrol shop and left.

As I was leaving I noted the Seat still patiently waiting.




Yes it was a woman (naturally )




And yes it feels great to be posting non Albion stuff.

perhaps SHE wasn't in a hurry and didn't want to stretch the filthy petrol hose across herself or her car ! I personally too would rather wait than do this too ! Not all women are thick or shit drivers and not all men are perfect either ! I'd stick to the footie subjects if I were you ........... as you probably know all about it being male ......... naturally !

Oh a woman missing the irony.


(That's ironic )

Personally I don't like having to do a reach around on the forecourt!!!

Surely that depends on who you are with?

You know you've had your arse handed to you, when a comedy petrol pump story is the NSC highlight of the day.

 

[albion534]

It's never been a problem for me, and I believe there are ones at Sainsbury's in hove where it says they all reach around ;-)

Whooooooo ? just don't like male chauvinists !!!!!!

 

[Stat Brother]

Whooooooo ? just don't like male chauvinists !!!!!!

Neither do I.

 

[pastafarian]

I'm a woman and guilty of said crime - despite the old fella saying pump will stretch - it's a woman thing I'm afraid !!!

your old fella is right
if you rub and pull on the hose with both hands it will get longer

 

[Lush]

If the hose won't reach then your car is too big.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Useless factoid.
If you happen to be driving a car and are unsure which side the filler cap is [yes I know most of you are saying it doesn't actually matter], then the fuel warning light on the dash will show you. The little fuel pump icon that lights up will show the nozzle as either on the left or the right and this WILL match to your car filler cap side. [have a look next time].

 

[The Fifth Column]

Seriously, if you are unable to fill up simply by pulling the hose a few feet over your car you ought to douse yourself with the fuel and light a match, numpties.

 

[Husty]

Whooooooo ? just don't like male chauvinists !!!!!!

LOL Don't worry hunny neither do I xx

 

[happypig]

What are these "petrol stations" you speak of ? I have my petrol delivered by Harrods.

Wow that has the potential to be brilliant.

I am absolutely going to run down every vehicle I ever drive, just to check that.

This is Brighton dahling, surely you drive an Eco friendly electric hybrid vehicle running off organic biofuel like the rest of us?
