    I have a friend who works with people. They have informed me Emz is quite the idiot. He quoted the 'brainless act of 1938' whereby if someone does something that shows them to be of less than average intelligence, they are by law to be classes as an idiot.

    well that is truly the last time I visit Shell :mad:

    had to refuel and pick up some essentials this evening and discovered a stray dog on the forecourt. i went to the shop to report the dog as clearly this was not the norm and there was every chance the animal could have rabies which would be dangerous whilst dispensing petrol. the youth working in the shop informed me that it was not his problem. i replied that if that was his attitude i would not be purchasing fuel. he informed me that i had already pumped £1.84 worth of unleaded and would be required to pay. i refused. he said he would call the police if i did not pay so i said i would call the police if he did not deal with the dangerous dog.

    i have a friend in the police so would be looked after anyway but this was a clear threat of intimidation by shell staff not to mention putting customers at risk of serious disease.

    BTW Rabid dogs don't dispense petrol. Come to think of it dogs don't dispense petrol full stop!

    Go and troll elsewhere!

    I'm sure she's got a real doctor friend (probably carrying a jacket with really long arms & straps)

    Did you get bitten by a rabid dog in the past?

    It would explain your strange trolling...

    Ah now Emz, you've overdone it, was really funny until now but you've spoilt it by being too silly. A decent troll would have stopped posting and started another thread (not irresponsible pub one).

    Bah!
