Wilson was very surprised to see it selling petrol for 1/7d (~£0.08) per gallon – around one eightieth of the price I'm paying at the pump now!
Spotting a large empty can, he whispered to me that we should fill it with gas, leave £1 on the office desk and creep out unobserved…
I told him that when I started driving, gas cost only 7/6d (£0.38) per gallon, but although his idea was a good one – and technically wouldn't constitute theft – I suspected that the pump no longer worked.
