I know what you mean. I have just returned from a wonderful few weeks in my house in Picinisco, Southern Lazio, and see there is another petrol station - a huge one - being built in Atina/Ponte Melfa. This will make four now in spitting distance. At least when you get petrol in Italy they fill your car for you, you don't have to get out of the car. I love that! Maralyn

Nothing worse than arriving

Nothing worse than arriving somewhere stinking of petrol having filled the tank, that is after being poisoned by the fumes coming from the petrol pump!! Please don't get rid of the petrol pump attendants! Maralyn

A new Shell station opened just along the road from me. Instead of having a general shop as most do, it has a full bar. So you drive to the filling station, get tanked up and drive home. Brilliant. But of course you can't smoke in a bar, so they have chairs out front - next to the petrol pumps - where all the smokers congregate. Only in Italy! TK

LOL !!! As you say, only in Italy. How many times do we say that? That is part of the charm of wanting to be there. Maralyn
