LPG in Northampton (1 Viewer)

[ChrisSue]

The lpg pumps at Westbridge BP station in St James Northampton have been shut off for a couple of weeks now and chatting with the attendant today he believes that they will not be re instated due to low sales.

I notice on mylpg that Morrison's in Wellingborough are listed. Can anyone confirm this please?

Yes - open again with all new LPG pumps after fire on forecourt a couple of months ago. Filled up there a week ago. They are however now very careful about what filler system you have on your van. Attendant checked my outside filler point before switching pump on. 99.99p per litre.

99.99p per litre.

My local garage has the same price which is just daft. Why on earth don't they make it a pound? They're not fooling anyone.

Thank you for that

It's a bit of a tradition going way back. Shops would set a price which meant that the assistant would have to open the till to give change to the customer. When the Shop Workers Union got strong enough even they accepted that it was something which could actually safeguard their members

I did not know that, thanks.

I notice it now says “Adapters are NOT allowed” which tends to support the idea that the destruction and injuries might have been caused by someone trying to refill the wrong type of bottle using an adapter. The Morrisons I use does not have this extra stipulation (yet).

That's really interesting, thanks.
I recall my ten year asking me why since so many prices are £XX.99 there isn't a 99p coin instead of a pound one. Kids' logic!

Low sales? I'm not surprised, its rarely live. I'd even taken to a drive by in the car to check (pass it regulaly not an issue).
