I prefer the petrol station payment here (Texas)... Swipe VISA card, press
button, begin fuelling. Saves walking to the counter, and running the risk of
buying things I don't need.

What was funny, was a friend of mine in the UK, filled his Land Rover up,
and then realised he was without wallet. He wandered in and profusely
apologised to the station owner, who just kind of shrugged. My friend,
Stuart said he would return in a day or two, with the money. The station
owner shrugged again, and off Stuart went.

Stuart got the strangest look when he actually did return to pay...

Anyway, enough of this...

We need another Sun Rescue BBQ night in Austin.
