I pulled into the pump yesterday and had a notice up saying "we have taken the decision to limit supply to £35 max per customer please obey " I promptly filled over £150 into the truck and was prepared for some kind of backlash from the attendant when I went into pay but didn't blink an eye. Plus there was no ques anywhere round here 😉

Can’t imagine £35 would get you far in the truck 🙄

My truck carries 700 litres even though it has 3 axles and 4 legs down the sides😳 payed £1.02 last tank load 👍 still got well over 6000 at my disposal 👍
You have actually paid real money for fuel?!!! I’m blown away, I thought it all just found its way to you. As far as I was concerned you were the Pied Piper of diesel - this news saddens me.

and there in lies the main issue ........ WTF does a driver want with that shite ..... he's passed a very stringent test to be behind the wheel already and many have decades of experience under their belts. ...... it's no wonder so many just said "ah f**k it" and walked away :rolleyes:
