Hi there, and thank you for your custom. I’ll be your pump attendant today but before we get down to business, I have no advice to give you, should you want it, on the fuel crisis. It’s certainly a bad business. War! What is it good for? Some say absolutely nothing, but I don’t think absolutes are very helpful moving forward.
