nabber Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 When is free air not free at a petrol station When you go to morrisons apparantley i was told when i asked for a voucher for the air machine to pump my car tyres up, i was told that i had to spend a minimum of £15.00 to obtain one of these vouchers. Even though i had spent over £30 in store Next time I will go to the chester road one and pay 50pence to pump up tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Oooh now that's a bit low Obs ... But swiftly going back to topic before this one goes off on the usual sort of tangent...... I've always received a free a free ticket for the air machine at Morries when I've asked for one after buying fuel and sometimes it's not lasted long enough so they just give me another free one to continue from where I left off. I never reaslised you had to spend over £15 to get one though. I can see why you are annoyed though nabber but to be honest I personally I wouldn't pay well over the top at another station just for some air, especially at one which also charges much more for fuel too, just to prove a point.

asperity Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 When I had a car I always used a foot pump. Okay a forecourt pump is convenient but it does use electricity which someone has to pay for, so the decision is this: do you want to use your own energy with a foot pump (or the cars energy, which you pay for through fuel costs) or pay the garage for use of their electricity. There is no such thing as free compressed (which is what we are talking about) air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Could get a job in Egypt then - keeping the balloons up!!!! Surprised at you obs, liquefied propane burned as a gas is used to keep hot air balloons up, not air, and that was a cheap shot my friend a little too close to the incident to be amusing.

Cleopatra Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Not in the least amusing, considering so many british people perished in the incident but such remarks only serve to show what kind of a low mind some people have.

P J Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I had a similar experience yesterday. I went to HSS Hire and asked them for a compressor. They had the audacity to expect me to pay to hire it. "but its only pumping out air " said I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
