Still can't believe this happened....
Filled up the pick-up this morning- my choice of transport when fuel gets too dear (2.5 STi does about 14 to the gallon 
) at the local BP.
I'm standing there watching the numbers go round, and round, and round, when shiny suit man in new audi convertible screams up to the pump next to me.
He does a quick 'splash and dash', runs in to the shop to pay, and I pass him on his way out. The ignorant bstard shoved past me and off to his Audi and off he buggered with a load of tyre squealing, the sun glinting off his balding head.
Anyway, I get to the till, "number 7 and a receipt please"
"no problem, number 8"
"no, number 7" I say "£60" bloody expensive BP ultimate diesel, but its worth every penny
"are you sure, the black pickup"
"quite sure" I say, "the black pickup".
"looks like your lucky day" says my elderly friend behind the till.
"Hows that then?" I ask in a kind of 'I've not had much caffeine yet so make it simple' way.
"That ignorant bstard thats just gone out was adamant that he was on number 7, not number 8. I tried to tell him, but when he wouldn't listen after the third time of telling him he just entered his PIN and ran out."
"Ok, so he paid for my diesel?"
"Yep"
"So what do we do now" I ask, getting more confused by the moment....
"You pay for his petrol and that'll do for me..... that'll be £15 please sir"
I reckon that makes that particular tank of diesel less that 25p a litre
Did I smile or wot

If he was driving a new Audi convertable, I doubt he'll actually check his statement, let alone decide to end his life over a loss of £45.

Good to see a berkshire hunt get what he deserves... still, i wouldnt have even paid for his petrol. Coz if you just laughed, walked off, and drove out... youd have a tank of diesel paid for, and he'd be prosecuted for driving off without paying. And there wouldnt be much he could do about it! Just a thought...

RRH,
What a result! I posted on here last week about an ignorant sod who got his facts wrong and tried it on at a petrol station. If he wants to pay for your petrol then more fool him.
Only thing is he will probably claim it all back under expenses, the tosser.
