"I ain't serving you with a crash helmet on..."

It was only a matter of time...

"CCTV footage has been released after a second robbery in which a
knife-wielding man dressed in a burka targeted a travel agent's shop."

I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate

go and talk to the Catholics.

 

He looks to have a very fat neck....

 

Ha. They're mostly enlightened around here in Hampshire about going in
and paying with a helmet on. Mind you, the garage in the next town has
exit spikes and a traffic light system, so exiting without paying is
discouraged, unless you like driving over 2" spikes ....

Paul.

 

heh. I asked the chap in our local garage (Texaco) about having them
fitted (due to the high number of drive offs).... "no chance - too
high a risk of a member of staff being killed by an irate drive-off
driver."

Then again, the same garage has a policy of deducting the lost fuel
from a drive off from the pay packet of the member of staff on duty at
the time (whether legal or not... not sure, but it is definitely the
policy as I have heard it from two different members of staff more
than once).

 

indeed

 

I've never seen that anywhere. Has society in parts of England really
deteriorated that badly ?

 

Where do you live - the Shetland Isles?

 

We're only a few short years away from 'Mad Max'-Style fuel dumps.

Haven't you been watching the latest 'doom and gloom' documentaries ?

Paul.

 

Extraneous words removed.

 

how many holidays can you carry away, anyway?

Hang on a minute, was it all-inclusive or not?

there's "all-inclusive" and there's "all-inclusive". You gotta watch
out that it just includes crap buffet food and "local drinks".

 

Try not to watch TV these days, seems to be full of Police
documentaries. Saw one were they went round battering the doors down in
a number of early morning raids. The hardened drug dealer was caught
with a single joint that looked like a tooth pick. It didn't make for
good viewing and it didn't make the police look good either.

 

Heh, it'd be pretty hard to drive off without paying up there.

Seriously though, that is one fucked up area or one really utterly
paranoid garage owner.
