Near 1am on what was now Monday morning, I pulled into my regular 24 hour petrol station to put fuel in the van. As you may guess, I wasn't bright eyed and bushy tailed, after doing battle with what I have now decided is Ronald's least efficient emporium, rain of varying intensities, and lack of sleep.

The lad behind the counter is a bit of a wag, with dry humour. Imagine my horror when he informed me that I'd put petrol in the blasted thing! :eek::eek: He was adamant I had misfuelled. :(

Then he laughed, and said " April Fool ". :D Well played Sir, apparently it's quite an easy one for him, he can get loads of drivers with it, especially when they wander in bleary eyed at 1am. :daft:

Yeah I'd not be too amused with that one.....

That said having ran 24/7 garages back in the day I often found the more quirky the nightstaff, the better they were at their jobs. Guess it kept him entertained all night.
