Fill her up sir?



      The days of 'just fill her up, please' are long past for this dilapidated petrol pump, nobody will be filling their old Riley, Austin or Wolseley with National Benzole here; but the family of Sparrows that nest inside are happy enough with their temporary home.
       Finally the frame will just collapse, but what about the big tanks underneath? You can't help but wonder what happens to them, maybe a great big hole just appears?
      Meanwhile top up fuel the Morris Minor Estate, grease the front suspension, and lets have a run to the coast before it rains. Fill the tartan vacuum flask with tea, some milk in an old aspirin bottle, and don't forget the travel blanket it may turn a bit chilly later.
      No, we won't need the folding table and chairs, we'll drink the tea in the car and look at the sea through the windscreen and the rain.
