Re: Petrol

Wasnt this tried a few years back and it failed because people were filling up, going inside to pay then doing a weekly shop, or ordering a forty fruity or a popeyes take out.ðŸ˜‚

I'm glad I can legally fill my own bloody truck in all the States I've been through. Oregon, where I used to live, just recently scrapped the law that required attendants to fill the tank.

Funnily enough, that was one of the memorable additions to the "shit bucket" for me that caused me to reconsider our life in the Gulf... driving into a petrol station and hearing my young kids shout "Full special!!"

Sometimes it's the little things that hammer home the racism and inequality in the Gulf.

0-10 dirhams maximum for anything even on a 1000 dirham dinner. Prices are out of control in many places so I donâ€™t bother. 72 dirhams for a single gin and tonic the other night, what a joke!
