Just got back from the shopping village, Bicester, just off the M40..........I had to que for 25 minutes to get into the shopping village......then took another 10 minutes to find a parking space !!
This was at 11 this morning ........the car park was completely packed.....I think whatever the price of petrol we will still shop till we drop...
!shocked!
PS I was driving back from Heathrow and the "boss" wanted to call in, not my idea !

People are sucking it out of cars and spitting it into containers for theft now Von Boy.
We are heading for that post apocalyptic Mad Max future already it seems.

Mrs Ace concurs with you Tel. Next to cars screeching from forecourts without paying, syphoning is the next biggest crime.....well, apart from knife crime in London

Followed closely by the yet to start restaurant/fastfood heists for their cooking oil

The only way to prevent forecourt drive-offs is to insist on pre-payment at the till. The petrol station owners are against credit card payments at the pump because they make more profit out of the average punter's impulse buys - crisps, drinks and chocolates etc - when he goes into to forecourt shop to pay for his petrol or diesel than they do from the sale of the fuel itself!
