That happened to me in rural France a few years back, the old guy stood puffing on a roll up ciggie while filling the car. :lol

So that destroys the bikers potentially helping themselves to the till/molesting shopkeepers argument right there.No it doesn't. It stops them from getting petrol and molesting the bird behind the till/robbing the place. If you're just there for the molestation/burglary then you're still good to go
[/quote]I can't say I'm clued up on the methods used for violent robbery of petrol stations, but I'm certain the modus operandi would not include parking up at the pump first and attempting to fill up on camera. In fact, for a robbery I don't think I'd bother with a helmet at all - too cumbersome, and it restricts peripheral vision. A ski mask would do fine. Perhaps they should stop selling fuel to people with ski's or snowboards on the roof too? I'm not saying they are criminals... just that they might be. That's how it works with us isn't it?
