Used to get my fuel from Ralph Keys, when I lived up Edward Street real gent he was also the guy who served you , can’t remember his name but he was a gent as well. Proper old fashioned garage.
They actually sold oil, try finding that at your local petrols station! All they want to sell you is alcohol and over priced sandwiches.
Bring back Bridge End Road Service Station.

Bless you, your waffling again. I’m not old and shrivelled I can assure you. You a Greek God, Holy Blessed Mary Mother of Christ! what are you going to come out with next??? Your having a laugh.
Not complaining mi old son, just saying that garages used to sell things for cars, now all they sell is big bags of crisps and that crap called Costa Coffee out of a machine. If that what the public wants, the public can have.
I’ve got to hand it to you though, you have a hell of an active imagination, for a nearly seventy year old that is ha ha ha. I’m sorry that you can’t meet up with lots of your old buddies from way back, considering you don’t go into Grantham you’re never likely to are you…….
Cheer up!, at least you have got me, it could be worse, much worse, you could be a sad and lonely old man and I would never want that for you, so you see I do care about you. Now go and count your pension.
