    I seldom use pay at pump any more. The £99 limit only fills the Rangey’s tank to about 3/4…

    Lol... Almost no-one pays at the pump here, certainly that I've seen. Not even sure if that facility is offered much in stations around here.. They're certainly all over the place abroad, but not really round here.

    In any case, it's not something I'd ever use, same as self-service checkouts at supermarkets, which I similarly boycott, as I like to be SERVED, and indeed am paying for the privilege!

    Therefore, in a petrol station, I want to go into the shop, hand over my card or cash/loyalty card, and let the ASSISTANT do the rest. There's also hardly ever anyone at the station I use, so it's not as if I have to wait in a queue, so feck yer pay at the pump pish

    That might be fine where you live (where the most common mode of transport is still horse & cart, or a sheep with a saddle), but in the real world there are often queues in kiosks. So if you're so 'queue averse' your chosen payment method would be just plain wrong. I put the fuel in, pay the pump, and off I go. Zero queues. No masks. What could be simpler?

    Perhaps you could tell us about the 'service' you expect (and receive) from the kiosk for your money

    Lol - not standing at a pump, typing your bank details into a machine and having to negotiate various on-screen menus to make the payment), with someone glaring at you in the car behind (if the station is busy, as you say), wanting to use said pump to fill up? That would do my nut in

    As I said, I'm not even sure there *exists* that facility in many stations here. However, now you've piqued my interest, I shall have a look next time!

    And why does living in Wrexham not equate to 'the real world'? I wouldn't have thought that Preston, as a town, was much bigger?

    Also, remember that I fill up the Brabster at off-peak times, when all the daftees are at work, which is one of the reasons why it's quiet!
