No protective canopy against the weather, friendly service, or much choice let alone shopper dockets here! A Soviet servo between Minsk and Smolensk in 1972 as we had our faithful Wolseley 1500 filled among some Moskvichs and Volgas. This lady wouldn't let us fill it ourselves as she didn't trust anyone from the capitalist west..... The other pump had 76 octane which would run a Volga, but I wouldn't imagine a Victa lawnmower. In her defence her knowledge and helpfulness would be on a par with any of today's console operators, meaning we haven't learnt much.
