The premise
Here’s the bit.
A customer wants to buy petrol, but the men behind the counter still behave like estate agents. Nick and Simon describe fuel as a desirable investment, talk up competing buyers and treat access to a pump like arranging a property viewing. Even paying cash fails to simplify the transaction. As the attendants negotiate with a supposed owner and postpone delivery, the customer’s frustration turns into a mock public appeal about estate agents displaced by the property slump.

Beautifully priced.

Notes from the archive.
Before moving into petrol sales, Nick and Simon worked for the fictional estate agency Wilson and Routledge.
