I remember that Petrol Station and the machine.
One night the machine went wrong and all the taxi drivers in Blackburn and Accrington filled their tanks for nothing...the news went round like wildfire and the pump was completely drained.
The following morning the owner of the garage made a plea in the telegraph and the radio that anyone who got petrol for nothing "Would they please call into the garage to pay for the petrol"
Outcome not known
