I got told to get off the bike before I could fill up last week. They said it was for health and safety reasons in case the bike suddenly set on fire. Presumably they thought I would just sit there like Joan of Arc with the flames seared my flesh, my left boot fumbling for the sidestand.

Ironically it made the whole thing much more dangerous as I fuelled while balancing the bike in the centre so I could fill it up properly - it could easily have fallen away from me and chucked petrol all over the forecourt!

Didn't take it out on the kids working there though - they're only wage slaves doing what they're told, like most of us.
