Right. And the pump is running. A lady here is filling up her…what is this car, madam?
It’s a Nissan Micra.
Micra. Does it use a lot of petrol?
No, it’s very economical-that’s why I bought it.
And I see you’re using unleaded petrol. Is that an important thing for you?
Yeah, I wouldn’t have bought the car if it hadn’t been the fact that it’s unleaded that it can take unleaded petrol!
So the environment and the state of environment is something that is very important to you?
Yes, very important. I try to recycle everything. I buy recycled paper, all that sort of thing.
There are so many cars on the roads these days. What do you thin can be done to keep the number down?
Well, I think people should use bused. I mean, I feel very guilty about using my car. But I had to learn to drive because the bus service isn’t very good.
Tight, thank you for chatting to us.
You’re welcome.
Thanks.
Now, here’s a gentleman not with four wheels but two, a motorcyclist. This is quite a big motorbike. How powerful is it?
It’s a thousand c.c.
How fast can it go?
About 165 or 170.
What’ it lie, being a motorcyclist on British roads, is it, is it dangerous?
Well, I nearly got run over today actually. I’ve just driven through London and somebody nearly got me on a roundabout.
Thank you for talking to us. We’ll let you get on your way.
Right, thank you.
Now as we are speaking into the forecourt of the petrol station comes a tanker. A huge tanker which is here to deliver the fuel for the cars to fill up with a little later.
And so as the lorry stops, let’s go over and talk to the man who’s been delivering the petrol. Hello to you!
Hello!
Now, you’re driving a very large lorry indeed. How much does it all weigh?
38 tons.
And how much fuel do you carry?
36000 liters.
How many miles do you travel a year?
Well, I don’t now a year. I suppose a week six or seen hundred; I suppose a weeks, in an average week.
So what do you think of the standard of driving in this country?
Well, when I was, I mean, I’ve been to Greece and Spain, and I suppose it’s reasonable here, really, it’s…
We’re all right, are we?
I think so yeah, Yes.
Well, thank you very much for chatting to us.
Thank you! Than you very much!
And that’s I think where we’ll end our visit. So from this petrol station in south Sussex in England, it’s good-bye.
