.............I cannot believe I am admitting to this, BUT, I am certain that I am not the only person to know this (supposedly simple) fact......
it regards putting petrol in the car....
at petrol stations.......((well, obviously - duh!!!))
well....anyhooo's......
we went on hols recently....not far, 'only' to weymouth, but we still needed to fill the car with petrol. we drive into the one at winfrith (DH tells me that it is clearly not good, yet I have no idea as I learnt somethig new there).
he did the petrol and then got into the car.....stating how bloody crap the man is in the shop at pressing buttons to allow the petrol out.
my face was like this ->..
and I asked him what on earth he was on about.
and his face was like this ->.. back at me.
well.....turns out.....
((and I cannot believe I am the only person to find this out this late in my driving life))
when you go into a petrol station and pull out the nozzle to put in the petrol, you have to wait for a man (or woman) in the shop to press a button to allow you the petrol.
stroll on......
seriously, where do you learn this stuff.....I had no clue!!!
I even had to ring nappiesGalore and flame and (today asked) CvQ.
I asked MIL
and SIL
and other friends
THEY ALL KNEW
and I did not......
but no-one told me.....
how do they know
and do YOU know????
