My friend and I were driving back from Nottingham one night, when her petrol
light came on, and so with about 40 miles to travel home still we were
relieved to find a petrol station.
It also had a small Cantonese restaurant on the forecourt, so being totally
organised we went straight for the food. Our delicious banquet was about
halfway through when ... the lights to the petrol station turned off! It had
closed for the night. We leisurely finished our meal, and then drove home
through Sherwood forest, the only lights we saw were that of the petrol
gauge, warning us of impending breakdown!
We did get home somehow, on the fumes from our meal I think!
The restraunt was fabulous and we returned to it many times, always with a
full tank of petrol!!
