petrol pump saga

(1/4) > >>

cardiff_gareth:
I went to fill up at the forecourt last week and all the pumps where the pump is on the drivers side were full so I reversed from behind the car in front of me and turned to move over to the n/s side pumps. Well I decided that as I needed to stretch over the pump pipe I'd get really close to the pump......and I got too close. Long story short, if you tap a petrol pump with a light guard it'll shift the whole pump over about 1/2 foot and the fiberglass fronts will spring off.

Thought it was funny as until I had a letter saying I had to pay for the repairs and i was to let my insurance company that I was expecting an estimate.

Where do I stand with it, I know I damaged it but it was an accident, don't they have public liability insurance to cover things like this. Everywhere else has big metal bollards to stop you hitting the pump, waitrose by me doesn't  :(

Can i tell them to get lost or not :?:
