5 Shell filling stations in Aberdeen alone! Not often I win

My nearest is about 3/4 mile away and got at least 3 within 5 miles, probably more lol. Helps being near an airport and major A roads

Just used the voucher to top up my son's car (mine still at menders for the other set of control arms

). The garage staff were thrown into a state of confusion with no-one knowing how to deal with the voucher. Got it sorted in the end but it required the intervention of the manager and resulted in long queue behind me.

More good news - it'll make the journey to Erskine worthwhile for The Laird!! Presumably you turn up and request the vouchers? Any limit?

No limit just the minimum spend.The attendees on site are issuing the vouchers,
or ask inside if no attendee around

I know Brian passes one on the Great Western Road, but going into work that way would take me twice as long and more than wipe out any better fuel consumption from the petrol. And there's one in Erskine - but again, it would mean a 10 minute detour.

But absolutely nothing north of Glasgow along the the A82, the only route north on the West of Scotland.

Shamefull, really. Reminds me of the old saying that goes along the lines of "You can build a better mouse trap, but...". IMHO, it doesn't matter how good the fuel is, it's useless if I cant buy it. 'Nil points' to Shell's marketing people.

Rant over - back in my box!

I have a cunning plan... next time you need fuel, drop the car off at mine, you can hire my bike and cycle to work, I will fill your car up on the way to work, you can return bike and pick car up on way home, will only charge you mates rates for the bike hire and only add 10% to the cost of the fuel for my time. I sense you will be knocking my door down very early Monday morning

I just stuck 50 litres of nitro in my car and wasn't offered a 10p off voucher

On the plus side he just scanned the barcode and just knocked £2.50 off bill

Same happened to me bloke scanned it and it did nothing and he said tuff it doesn't work.

Told him to get the manager he said he wasn't in

Now theres a big queue behind me, told him I wasn't paying until he phoned his boss. In the end he phoned his boss who told him to knock the money off manually. Result

Put the fuel in the Corrado though as taxed it today after being sat in the garage all winter.

I'll fill the S8 tomorrow
