Wouldn't be many folk left who even remember that multi-brand petrol servo sites even existed, now.
A bit before my time. But as I lived in a rural area, I do recall those old style bowsers outside the local shop and garage. We never used them, as we had a truck deliver all of our fuel and oil to the farm in bulk.
I can tell an interesting story from the 1970s. We had a fuel tank at the far end of our place that we no longer used. When my parents sold the farm, we decided to move the tank up for the auction. To our great surprise it was full to the brim with diesel. We had never received a bill for it. For a long time after we wondered which neighbour had got a puzzling bill in the mail demanding payment for fuel they had never ordered! Or, someone must have been wondering why they never received the fuel they had ordered. It could have been sitting in that tank for years.
Great bit of history in those photos!
