Bitch Bitch Bloody BP!

There will be a risk involved at the end of the day. I was at the NP mobil one evening and the staff were smoking in frount of the shop. I Asked them about it and their reply was "where else are we going to go?" I think its more a matter of making a mountian out of a mole hill, but hey some people are good at it...

Madness - surely.

I have always Filled up the local BP, through I have only been riding for the last six months.( 5000 kms)
I have always sat on the bike and never taken my helmet off, and they have never said a thing.
After reading this thread, Í'm not going to sit on the bike any more.
But with the helmet thing, I can understand how it could be considered threating but I wear glasses and its a pain to take the glasses off put them down, remove helmet put down helmet and put glasses back on.
I always pull out my wallet before walking inside to show that I am not threating in any way and intend to pay.
I like BP, because they are more enviromentally freindly, what with there solar power stuff than most fuel compaines.

What next ? - no caps or hats, dark sunglasses ? They all disguise your looks.

Would an attendant ask a Muslim woman to remove her burma (or whatever its called)?

If they want my money they can provide an alternative method of paying, like the nightime transaction drawer or eft pos at the pump.

Umm - Total Bollocks.

There is no such thing as an environmentally friendly energy corporation.

Next you'll be claiming electrically powered transportation is more environmentally clean than petrochemicals.

Spent 9 years out at sea as a deckhand with a deisel main, along with long hall for a while. Got in trouble the first time I attempted to fill the tanks on the boat. Filled too quickly and almost missed on a full tank (would have if the skipper had not mentioned it!). Its too easy to do it and I cant see the point in having someone else fill my tank if there is a good chance of it. The bit that pissed me off that when I tried to explain it to the forecourt boy, he was rude and continued to fill my tank with froth anyway!

I thought modern diesel fuels contained an anti-foaming agent.
(FYI - diesel experience as a result of apprenticeship with GGH on Caterpillar earthmoving equip, also a year or so at International Harvester. Current work vehicle is diesel - Escort van and its the biggest POS I have ever driven.iesel )

Well it is, if you don't count how they get the electricity.

Well thats what I thought too... but couldent be buggered wanking on any more, but what the hell.... I fill any diesel up at full noise and the thing usually shuts of as the little bit of foam reaches the triger 1st.... and can usualy dribble 20-50c more in... not actually worth pissing around with.

Do you need every point explicitly explained today?

Nice to see you slowly catching up.

But if you use the truck pumps with the fast nozle or get your fuel from a truck it comes out VERY fast and any such agent is not of much use

If only they had hot meat pie vending machines and credit card at pump then I would never have to get off!

I don't get off for cash machines either.

at Powderham BP. He agreed that it was pretty pathetic to expect a rider to get off the bike at all. He went on to state that the biggest danger is women as for whatever reason they do no earth out with static electricity and pose a risk He stated that his biggest pisser is when parents let the kids (as young as 7 years old) fill the car. He reckons if they are old enough to drive then they are old enough to fill. He said that some parents get quite shirty with it (reckon they need a swift moving heavy blunt object to the head to remove the farking cobwebs!!!) So for all you riders in the Naki and looking for fuel in the big NP, go to Powderham BP, they have both their shite together and a good healthy dose of common sense.
