Shell Petrol!

Just been to fill up my jerry can with V-Power petrol for my event on Saturday only to be refused. Shell have a nationwide blanket ban on jerry cans being filled due to the riots. Happy days.

Me too but I cheated. Pulled to the pumps blindsiding her, took the gun from holster, whipped the door back and grabbed my can and when the power came on, filled the can. Put pump back in holster and removed diesel pump and stuck it in the van tank and thats when they came running out. Ah well, too late. She said 'didnt you see the sign on the pump', I said, 'missus, took me all my time to find the pump'...

Rioters are hardly going to pay for V Power! Come on Shell/Police, be sensible.
