Seems to have been petrol spill day. I always put the ignition back on and concentrate on reading the fuel guage, stopping the pump in good time to keep below the breather/spill pipe. In the process of 230 miles including some tour recce, this afternoon stopped for petrol at Much Wenlock. A delightful lady came to speak to me, but instead of just ignoring her or saying, hang on a minute till I've filled the tank, I allowed myself to be distracted from guage watching long enough to allow spillage to appear from beneath the Ruby. Far from being told off, the lass at the till thanked us very much for spreading sand over the spill, saying most drivers just ignore it and drive off. Moral, no matter how delightful the person who wants to tell you about grandfather's Seven, just concentrate on the task in hand.
