The cost of free air

When I started driving, free air was available at our local garage, and if a young lady needed help, the attendant would happily leave his pay booth. Then later ‘free air’ cost 50p or via a token purchased from the garage. Today my local petrol station, with its 8 electric charging points and a gadget to boost your mobile, now only accepts contactless credit card payments for free air. That’s progress.

  1. The days of ‘Service’ in a petrol station are only in the memories of those old enough, like us. Another nail in the coffin of human communication.
    (I bought a small compressor that plugs into the car, too much of a faff to get air at the Tesco garage.)
    Best wishes, Pete.
