sparky370z Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 They are changinging the total garage to a shell. Woo hoo. V POWER!! Plus my drivers card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThriftyFifty Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Tesco express one here just got refurbed... they were messing with all of the pumps. Perhaps a new law regarding the measurement of pump delivery? Either that or they're installing more accurate pumps to clamp down on us getting free fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The shell station near me has been refurbed twice in the last year. Both times shut for a week or so with all of the forecourt being torn up. But it looks exactly the same as it did before, so yeh maybe legislation?

They did the Shell nearest to us and the forecourt was closed too for a week or so, from what I could tell all they did was refurb the shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
