A couple of days ago I pulled into a local petrol station ,(on my Comet) put the bike on it's stand, took off my goves dug out my wallet checked I had the funds to pay,placed them on the seat and put the fuel nozzle into the tank and waited,after a while I was approached by a very young male person who looked like he should still be attatched to his mothers breast, with the appropriate name tag I think it was Wayne or Shane , anyway he says to me ," I s'pose your wondering why the pump isn't working" ,Yes I replied, "yuo'll have to take your helmet off " says he ,Why ,says I ,"cos its Texaco rules " says he.So what if my religion forbids me to remove my headgear, says I, Its's cos you don't have a front number plate, and the CCTV can't identify you,says he ,Why dont' you fix a camera to show the rear of vehicles , says I, any way it would be much easier for a car to come in with a false number plate,fill up and drive off with or without a helmet. So then he fell back on the classic well it's a Health and Safety rule.So I had to point out it is safer to keep my helmet on when refuelling in case I were to be struck by debris from a falling satellite,so then the ultimatum,you've got no choice Helmet off or no petrol, By now i had become just a tad irritated by this annoying little oik, so dutifully suggseted that he insert the nozzle in the orifice where the sun never shines,and made my departure.Now I bet your thinking I bet the old fool ran out of fuel on his way home.So I ask you is it me?
