Do you have a petrol station open in your town today?

4 open, well that's convenient!

I've always assumed that any town would have at least one petrol station open xmas day but maybe that's not a thing everywhere?

I've no petrol (and ran out of tinfoil) but I'll have to wait till tomorrow cos I havent got enough to drive 30 mins to the next town.

No big deal at any rate I was just wondering about guards/ambulances etc

True, good policy to operate from!

I my defence I didn't realise yesterday was Xmas eve, plus I can't put more than €15 petrol in my car at any one time cos theres a leak in the petrol line going into the tank.

It fills the car with fumes and that's probably not great for ya, driving and all

omg are you ok, how are you surviving sans tea?

Any UHT portioned packs at the back of the cupboard to tide you over?

These are real emergencies, I hope people appreciate that

oh yeah, i've never used a self-service pump but I can check if there's any at the local petrol stations, thanks!

no one wanted to fix it tbh, i was told to buy a car instead.. and that is the plan, but yeah

I've only driven the car maybe once a week at most since a couple of months ago

idk I only know one place locally that has them for sure, but they only have the diesel pump 'open' once they close so I've never used them

Usually if I'm getting petrol i'm getting something in the shop so it's not really occurred to me to check for them either.

It's really efficient though, definitely. Also stops some people wandering around, having a look in the shop - while their car is blocking a pump, cars lined up behind them, and nobody happy about it
