I was partially filling up today at local supermarket.
Only wanted to put in £35 and was concious of the fact that I always end up going a penny over.
Stopped dead on £35. Took out and parked the nozzle, turned round to put the fuel cap back on, turned back and it had jumped up to £35.02!
I mentioned to the cashier (because complaining doesn't really achieve anything) and she said that sometimes there is a bit of fuel in the pipe.
She didn't really have a response when I said that it should be in my tank!
With the latest report on the news about the OFT saying that the UK fuel market is working well, I can't think of another event or experience in my day to day life that is as expensive or as painful as filling up at the pumps.
Except maybe a rectal examination by a doctor wearing a jewel encrusted glove!
