I was heading back from Manchester yesterday and the red light came on in the car - I was running out of petrol. I reckoned I had enough petrol to get the the Asda petrol station at Pilsworth.

I drove in to discover that it was credit card only and that there was no way that I could pay cash. As I'd come out with a £20 in my pocket and nothing else this was a bit of a problem.

I had to leave and try my luck to the next junction - fortunately made it.

I think it's going a bit far with streamlining things when they don't have attendants at places like this - whatever happened to personal service?
