It was a new Astra.

Nice-looking two door thing.

Would have thought that all new cars have that.

Indeed @anon29812515 , indeed. Maybe we can ruddy bloody well require it across the board now that we’ve taken our ruddy bloody country back.

Only had one petrol hire car out of probably 15. More economical innit seeing as people generally use hire cars to go on long trips. Doubt I’d have got 62mpg out of a petrol car doing a steady 90 up the M40 last week.

The diesel ones always have had a big yellow tag that says DIESEL on them. I’m sure the petrol one had nothing, as though the default fuel to put in a car is petrol but for diesel you need to be told.

Fair diddles. Pretty sure I’ve had a mixture. In any case, this is what greeted me when I went to refuel. (With no indication to be found on the interior.)

Ridic. Can’t believe I actually noticed that piddly little sticker, to be tbh.

Yeah seems a poor effort from the hire company to not put a tag on the key and a sticker on or next to the filler

The key

See, the key is kinda what threw me and semi-started this fandango. The key wasn’t even needed! The lid just popped open and the cap just screwed off. What kind of pisspoor anti-siphoning security is that?

#58

Ah. Makes sense, I guess.

Marky made the joke I would have made, everyone.
