Petrol stations, open on Xmas day?

I always go for the opposite end fill up and also head straight for the 'pay at the pump' pumps. Why, cause with opposite end fill up I'm convinced you get also get the last few drips in the hose (unless the last person was also thinking along my lines :)) as the hose is nearly straight and taut. Pay at the pump cause where I live people can't seem to understand the quite simple instructions of insert credit card, enter PIN, remove card, fill up, wait for receipt and then drive away.

Unfortunately the stations with pay at pump local to me don't allow enough fuel out to brim the car if it is empty.

My local Morrisons allows you £100 of fuel at the pay at the pump pump, how much does your local allow?

Does really show how advanced the UK is not, when I was in Crypus this summer their pumps are open 24/7 at most if not all petrol stations, manned during the day and auto during the evening. I was at my sisters last night in Bedford, had completely forgotten to fill up and had to drive the last 25 miles with the fuel warning light on as I couldn't find anywhere open at midnight.

i used to think the same, however the control valve is in the nozzel, so you dont get all the fuel in the hose :(

Damn :eek: You'll be telling me next that there is no Father Christmas and that the Tooth Fairy is in fact a Nigerian doctor with no qualifications :(
