Even better:
""We are required by law to validate the minimum age for dispensing fuel and that cannot be done adequately if riders keep their helmets on." Have they had a rash of 8 year olds turning up on sports bikes I wonder? |

Re: The latest moronic "helmet = no petrol" excuse
We have a policy and we are going to justify it come what may.If that requires black to called white and up to be called down so be it.We are the morrisons management and we are always right.And our willys are bigger than yours.Dont forget that.

In todays MCN, Police bike cop on fully liveried bike was refused unless he took his helmet off in case he was poisoned by the fumes. Don't think its a wind up. Just unbelievable.
