  1. Pretty much @Bender's attitude with user accounts when he's had a drink
  2. It was probably empty very shortly after he arrived
  3. It's not as bad when paying for fuel, however I have had to say to a guy at the fish shop that the girl on the counter might understand what you are saying easier if you take your lid off!!
  4. Here they are in mobile view Got to admit I have never seen them as my bookmark takes me straight to the streams They do have some nice pictures for the categories though!!
  5. The system I used would beep at you if the pump hadn't been paid for within approx 5 minutes.
  6. As a petrol station staff veteran I never used to bother unless it was a scooter or a 125 and I didn't recognise them as regulars. It is an absolute pain in the arse but needs to be asked otherwise if there is a driveoff there's a good chance its coming out of the cashiers wage or best case a severe bollocking for not following procedure. In fact if there is a drive off and you have followed procedure it can still end up a massive argument The cashier is liable everytime they press the button on the till to authorise a pump. It is up to them every time to decide if its safe or legal to do so If anything the main issue I used to have was people wanting to fill up anything other than an actual legal fuel can. Milk bottles, 2 litre coke bottles etc etc. I also had a massive argument with a man once because I wouldn't let his (probably) 8 year old son use the petrol pump. Guess who would of been getting blamed if anything went wrong in that situation?
  7. Welcome to the forum
  8. What Neil has said is very possible. When I was a new car driver I once went from 2nd to 1st (wanting 3rd) and completely locked up like I had slammed the brakes on
  9. Welcome to the forum Reason the bike doesn't want to start could be that the spark plug(s) have been fouled with oil after it was dropped. It's worth taking them out and having a look. Daft as it sounds its worth checking you haven't run out of fuel, we've all been there and done that at one time or another
  10. Hopefully Stu goes out so you get to have a nice day!!
  11. Sorry, not a brand I'm familiar with. Can't find anything about it online either!!
  12. Does anyone know what kind of screwdriver this is? Bought a selection of old screwdrivers off eBay and this one caught my eye. Quiet a nice design, all one piece. Guessing the metal top is to allow it to be used with a hammer.
  13. I will stick to reading Classic motorcycle mechanics magazine well I would if the Yorkshireman in me will ever allow me to pay £5 for a magazine
  14. A few years ago I went into newsagent for a drink and the girl on counter handed me a copy. " We are giving free copies to every customer today" I gave it straight back
  15. Guess what my lovely co-workers pointed out today?............I don't see it myself!!
  16. @Ian Frog this might be it
  17. When I worked nights my shifts were only 8 hours!!
  18. Never had a problem with people checking my chicken strips...... .....I have a belt sander
  19. Wifes away for weekend including tonight but I'm working all Sat/Sun Making most of tonight with takeaway, beer and a film. I was planning on watching Death on the Nile. Trailers looked ok and I enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express a few years ago. After telling my Wife she made the lovely comment of " I can tell you are getting old when you look forward to watching Agatha Christie's "
  20. I won't be there but I know several people on this forum frequent Squires from time to time. You just made me realise when I last did the Easter Egg run it was 10 years ago!! Where has that time gone?!! I started from the Sun inn near Otley as it was closer to me
  21. Might not be safe around the decals
  22. I've got a bottle of this special BMW brand cleaner I can send you to try if you want @Stu?
  23. I've got some waterless cleaner for the car. Its crap!! It also states on the bottle you should clean the bulk of any dirt off first before using it. What with I wonder?
  24. Never had an issue jet washing. Just keep the lance a couple of feet or so away from whatever you are washing and avoid the electrics
  25. Late summer and around £4000 apparently I'd say thats about 2.5k more than it should be priced at
