You were lucky to get away with that.

New laws say one jerry can only to be filled and put in vehicle according to Tonbridge Sainsburys Petrol Station Manager who walked out onto forecourt to bollok me for smoking and being on the phone whilst filling up

I ended up doing a 30 mile round trip as the nearest shell forecourt was shut!!

Worth it tho (Although not financially!), roads were nice and quiet at 8pm
