        Just went in morrisons garage to get some petrol, I needed some engine oil but couldn't find any, so asked for oil, then came the two Ronnie's bit.
        Yes she said and took me to a bottle of cooking oil, no I said engine oil.

        Oh we don't have much of that, and pointed to a tiny corner shelf with two bottles on it, not much choice.
        It's a garage for God's sake. :scratch:

          Naah, pete, it's a place that sells Petrol, Diesel, sweets, sandwiches, soft drinks and milk. :dunno: Garages are where you get your car serviced, and I get my oil, headlight bulbs, windscreen wipers, etc, from the local Car Parts and Accessories Dealer:love30::thumbsup:

            Supermarket forecourt services would run at a loss if they didn't sell all the chocolates and other edibles and drinkables. They're not really interested in selling things for vehicles. Although the sale of petrol is an excellent loss leader to get people into the supermarket. That's why they're so much cheaper than non supermarket linked petrol sales. :noidea:

              Well I call them garages,;) service stations if you want the old proper term, mini supermarkets next to the big supermarkets is what they are now.
              But they are supposed to sell stuff you might want for your car from time to time.
              Apart from about 200bottles of screenwash there aint much for cars in the place.

                    hmmm.. "barely there" front and bottom cover and narrow mental bracket. If the nightclubs weren't closed here in Newcastle you could have befriended one for free. :whistle:

                      I have a mate who's son refuses to wear a mask while he shops, his take is its a Government Conspiracy to control us all.

                      Now this guy has never worked in over 40 years, when he left school he went to the Doctors complaining of a bad back.

                      Ok he may have a bad back, but he's in a heavy metal band, dancing around the stage and also goes bate digging..........But he likes the Government to pay his benefits each week.

                      I worked all my life and I am very proud to state this.

                        He wouldn't be served in the shops in our village. They refuse to serve anyone without one. :paladin:

                            I find this person despicable and someone should have reported him long ago. Dom Littleton had a programme about scroungers and interviewed, named and shamed them on TV ... not that it phased these low downs.

                              Following from the above, I forgot to say these scroungers had the best of everything ... leather furniture, biggest TV you can get, new car, etc. Dom interviewed a father and son who live in a council house. Neither have ever worked (bad backs) and when asked why they don't work the answer was "as long as the Government pays us, why should we bother". Grrrr ............

                                Sadly the large Supermarkets won't do this as they are frightened of losing a few pennies.
