Yes I remember that.

Never went there again after that. In stark contrast the little one that isn't there now opposite the police station (It's all car sales now) phoned to let us know when he'd had a delivery because we were regular customers and he hadn't any left when we went for some.

Well just come back to an inbox full from my other groups about this issue & most of them now cant get any petrol as quite a few places have now been drained of supplies.

lol I've just been informed him at the bottom of Willows Lane has put his prices back down .... clever chappy .... still be hard pressed for custom I think

accymel · 13-09-2005, 14:14

OUT OF PETROL HUMOUR

A little girl asked her Mom, "Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?"
Mom replies, "No, because she is in heat." "What's that mean?" asked the child.
"Go ask your father. I think he's in the garage."

The little girl goes to the garage and says,
"Dad, may I take Belle for a walk around the block?
I asked Mom, but she said the dog was in heat, and to come to you."

Dad said, "Bring Belle over here."

He took a rag, soaked it with petrol, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent,
and said "OK, you can go now, but keep Belle on the leash and only go one time round the block."

The little girl left and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash. Surprised, Dad asked, "Where's Belle?"

(YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!! )

The little girl said, "She ran out of petrol about halfway down the block, so another dog is pushing her home."

LOL

I do remember the last time we had this crisis though, and he refused to let white people fill up at him pumps. me and ginge wont use the garage now after that. And apparently he was stopping whites from filling up yesterday there too.

It's not nice when this sort of thing happens.

Yeh remember that & cant beleive he's allowed to do it, if a whitey firm did that there would be uproar

WillowTheWhisp · 13-09-2005, 16:24

He isn't allowed to do it. Someone who has been turned away should lodge a complaint with the race relations people. That is discrimination and it's illegal.

Even if he had the only petrol on the planet I wouldn't buy any from him.

I said people had long memories! I can't believe he's at it again! I hope someone reports him and they throw the book at him

A load of us AccyWebers should all go at once and if he turns us away we can call the police. Anyone up for it?

Motorists should show a little consideration for non drivers, who now have to wait in line to purchase lifes little essentials such as milk, cigarettes or condoms, while all those panicky motorists wait to pay for their fuel with plastic cards.
