Petrol station to avoid in Beddau
« on: July 27, 2011, 04:11:14 PM »
Hi all

The petrol station in beddau by Scotts dinner, is now making you take your helmet off for fuel.

After waiting like a tit, for the pump to be turned on, i stormed in to the shop only to be told you have to remove your helmet, no info on the pumps...

If there weren't so many drive-offs there would be no problem. Personally I would rather pay a little less for my petrol and take my helmet off for the pleasure.

I know of one petrol station in Cardiff currently losing 35K per year, likely it's similar elswhere.
Besides, it's manners. :innocent

Its not the taking off of the helmet, its the lack of notification thats the issue

I just think these garages take the piss,  if your going to have a rule put the notice on the pumps, i dont give a damn if people run of with out paying, most are probably car drivers anyway...

That may be so ... but you should care ..cause whoever is running off with the fuel, we are ALL paying for it !! It goes on the cost  :thumb_down
Bikes don't leak oil',.... they mark their territory :o)           Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight. Growing old is manditory... but growing up...well that my friends...is OPTIONAL!

if fuel stations want us to remove our helmets, as said signs on the pump to start with,  lets have somewhere safe to store them, also burka's, & turbans to be removed along with hoodies etc, british law says you must wear a helmet to ride a bike! no where does it mention about burka's, turbans, hoodies etc, are we as bikers being prejudiced against? I did write in to tesco on this subject but didnt get a reply???????????????
