    Ahhh you have figured out the DD-slip......don't worry it comes with practice.

    I'm supprised so many people on kb haven't just left the tank cap unlocked so that they can get fuel in there quicker.....or traded the gloves in for the old 60's bar mounted mittens. I had no idea they were in such a hurry to get gas

    I only remove one of my gloves. I have trouble getting my wallet out of my jacket otherwise.
    While you sit there liking things just cos' everyone else does, I'll be standing up here keeping it real.

    Cos if they did you wouldn't go into the shop and buy drinks and chocolate bars etc (at 50 odd % markup)...just petrol (at 1-2% markup)!

    Sounds like a conservative estimate. Even if they buy the drinks & chocolate bars from the same super market that I shop at they would have a margin of 60-100%. That's why I only buy petrol at the petrol station - biscuits, chips, drinks, chocolate bars & icecreams are all way too dear.

    Horsie says "Neeeeiiiighhhh!!"

    OK, Bumholes.
    I needed some petroleum distillates this morning, to stop the flashy thing from flashing. So, when I went to pay, I took my helmet off for a change, and asked The Man, "Does it bother you if bikers don't take their helmets off when they come in here?"
    "No - I don't care. None of them ever do, but it doesn't bother me."

    So there.

    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Well to the first Bollocks...actually...I do find people that want ME to serve them with a helmet still on rude. Don't know how you can say Bollox to that.

    The second Bollocks...I'll bet you a thousand dollars cash...I can remove my helmet in a few seconds. So dunno how you can say Bollox to that either.

    If you push the blinker button in it also works.

    To the first bollox - you find it rude. It's your convention. You're trying to impose your conventions on customers or other servo owners (most of whom don't seem to give a toss about me keeping my lid on).

    To the second bollox - I wear a thin balaclava under my helmet year round (for odour prevention purposes). So going on your argument that would have to come off too. An unnecessary inconvenience for me and any other waiting customers.
