'Fill Up – Pay Up – Park Up' is the message of the day: take heed

'm dedicating the start of this story to a lady called Annabelle. We don't know each other, but we've spoken on the radio show. In a sporadic segment on the show, people call-in with any problem they have in the world. It doesn't matter how small. It doesn't need to apply to everyone. What matters most is getting it off your chest. Out in the open. Fresh eyes on the challenge.

I've had men who can't cook. People who wear slippers to take the bins out, even when it's wet. Bras that break washing machines. Plastic caps on drink bottles that smack you in the face. No issue is too small. They can always be added to.

Annabelle called the show at her wits' end. The issue was her local petrol station. It's a relatively small station. Six pumps, a maximum of nine cars at a time. No easy way out, you simply wait and leave when the person in front has paid.
