I can't believe the amount of people i see with modern cars coming out of the petrol station kiosk with 5ltr bottles of antifreeze!

 

It's crazy, just these past few weeks, i must have seen it 20 times and that's just my local one.

 

Don't they realise that modern cars have a high quality coolant that doesn't require any attention and is replaced at the annual service anyway.

 

Weird

Plus you don't ever really see any older cars on the road over here

My vectra was frozen on the inside too yesterday morning. I thought it was just a mini thing. Apparently I was wrong.

 

Why do people slow right down unnecessarily just because its cold? The A5 this morning was perfectly clear and wasn't icy yet I got stuck in a que of traffic behind someone only doing 40 mph. Not helpful in rush hour. Worst still they passed two laybys and a petrol station where they could have easily pulled in and let everyone (and I mean about 30 cars by the time they had passed the last layby) past.

Obviously you don't own a Mini City then. Everyone needs a mini in their life at some point.

I've just looked through the topics you have started. Ok maybe you do but then you should have known the answer really to your own question. :P

 

Why is it there is only ever one person to serve you when you are at a petrol station around 5:30pm and yet the rest of the time there are usually two people who are talking to each other as you are the only person in there and they have nothing else to do? It also usually that one old guy who is really slow at operating the till and struggles to see what he is doing as he hasn't got his glasses as well.

 

I had to wait in line for about 20 minutes this evening as there was only one person serving at the petrol station
