Morrisons and Tesco in Chippenham have no issues, Morissons having Pay at the pump makes it even easier, although if i'm picking up wine on the way in i'll take my helmet off at Tesco.
Esso (chippenham services) - will put loud message over tannoy if you are not using pay@pumpQuote:
Maybe we could start a list of those petrol stations that ask you to remove lids
Some pubs in Frome do not permit entry to customers who are wearing Santa hats during the festive period (world going mad). Can't understand that because my Mum told me that Santa Claus was a very nice man and I have to say that he was always good to me. ;D
It doesn't matter whether you give it any credance or not.Quote:

If it's Sainsbury's policy on their private property then they have the right to refuse to serve you if you don't comply with their policies.
Once you have the fuel then as Beemerman points out the balance of power has shifted considerably, but they can switch off the pump before delivery if they are on the ball.
Sure, but it's still bollocks...roasted or not.Quote:

Right Mitch, do you have any proof that this has never ever happened?Quote:

NZMSC (a non-profit body working on motorcycle safety and riding skills promotion in New Zealand and internationally via the Internet) say it has.
They also mention another incident which although not fire, was still very painful where one of their riders split fuel on his testicles (through his jeans). His name was Allan Kirk of the NZMSC.
But hey if you guys want to spill fuel on your testicles and set them on fire, then who am I to spoil your fun ;)

Some of us like inherent risk, it's why we ride motorcycles ;)
OMG i just got this email in...
This actually happened a few weeks ago on the M3 Fleet services . It was early evening and a young girl stopped to get petrol. She filled her tank and walked into the store to pay for her petrol. The cashier told her 'Don't pay for your petrol yet, there's a motorcyclist filling his bike up while still sat on it. It's very dangerous and any moment now he's going to burst into flames'...
Take care out there folks.
