Re: Was filling the truck with diesel ...
Many years ago I was doing a long run from Denmark to Luxembourg via a short stop in The Netherlands. In the middle of the night I discovered that Dutch petrol stations on major routes weren't open 24 hours.
The pre-payment machine only took a limited range of Dutch bank notes. I had only a few of them - and then discovered it only liked the couple that were in mint condition. Just enough to get home.
