My love affair with LPG is being strained to the limit at the moment. Saturday night, I dropped into my local Shell Station, to fill up with LPG. Sadly, all the local cheap independent LPG sellers close in the evenings and weekends, so I'm forced to fill up with shells overpriced gas. My local independent retailer can sell it for 40p/L however a giant multinational such as Shell, charges just under 50p/L. Anyway, the Shell LPG pump was still out of order a week after I last tried to use it.
No problem, I'll fill up at the local BP station with expensive LPG, Sunday morning, on my way to work.
Gone to pull into the BP station at about 6am, only to find cones across the entrance and the cashier farting about with Sunday newspapers. I asked her how long it would be before I could have some gas? About 15 minutes she replied as the papers have to be dealt with. I told her I was on my way to work and couldn't wait 15 minutes, however, she could only apologise and said she couldn't help.
What is it with these filling stations, I can't have gas 'cos they're too busy selling papers!
Incidentally, I filled up with Unleaded at Morrisons this morning paying
