I have this super kind of car, I suggest you look at getting one, that goes......... backwards as well as forwards. And due to the assymetric nature of the location of the fuel inlet, it means that you can get the inlet closer to the pump without waiting 10 minutes, or risking a teeny little scratch (that would buff out in under 10 minutes).See You Next TuesdayComment

And at least one of them refuses outright to turn the pump on if you reverse up, too.

I try to fill up on the correct side (and if you're ever unsure, look at the picture of the petrol pump on your fuel gauge, there'll be an arrow beside it showing which side the filler is on), but it's also not difficult to drive a little bit past the pump so the hose is going round the back of your car, then all you have to do is hold the hose away from the bodywork/rear window, and Robert is married to your aunt.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Originally posted by The Castle Cary Fairy View PostSaturday. I go to the local Morrisons to get fuel and there's an almighty queue spilling out onto the main carriageway of the road.
Anyway, 10 minutes later I make it onto the forecourt of the service station to find myself in a queue for one particular side of a line of pumps - there was only one car at the other so I zipped straight in feeling somewhat perplexed by the apparent need of some folks to needlessly be in a queue - though I had my suspicions and these were confirmed by the girl at the till when I went in to pay.
Yes, they were all in that queue because they were all so freakin' USELESS that they couldn't cope with the situation in which the pump is on the opposite side to the filler cap and obviously didn't have the wherewithal to perform the very simple action of pulling the hose round to the other side of the car"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
