I decided to take the SV out anyway since it was sunny - on the way back, riding through Binbrook village I popped into a small garage which had 1 unleaded pump. "Yes, we have petrol - yes, help yourself it's self service and let me know how much you took when you come to pay".

Flower planter boxes between the petrol/diesel/gas-oil pumps (gas-oil is another name for red diesel apparently), no check on how much petrol you took - a couple of mechanics working on someone's car - it was like stepping back 40 years.
