Scenes from Little Britain in Helsby Shell Garage today. Matt Lucas couldn't have done better.A large black man pulls up with a van full of people with learning disabilities and the petrified cashier only lets him get £50 worth of fuel because deep down she is an appalling human being."He looked dodgy" was her justification to his uniformed colleague who went in to pay with the company fuel card and left in stunned bewilderment.Do Shell Employees even have that right? Are there policies, training and guidelines around this? Perhaps a scale of dodginess to be adhered to? Are the words "big" and "black" on that list? As this is what he was unfairly judged by!It seems more likely that the disgusting actions of one individual put Shell into disrepute today. Perhaps some anti-discriminatory practice training would stop this unprofessional behaviour in the future.

Stopped to fill up the works van when at £50 it suddenly stopped. Thinking maybe they had run out of fuel I sent my work colleague to pay and I said inform them the fuels has suddenly stopped. After paying he came back to inform me it was turned off because I quote "He looked dodgie". I love the fact that being a larger guy and black means I look dodgie. ??Just to let you know I work for a company that works with adults and children with learning disabilities and i had a full vehicle with them in and was filling up so i can get them safely home. So thank you for the negative judgement I feel amazing for that and potentially putting disabled people at risk as I have a long journey ahead.

Helsby Shell, most expensive petrol for miles around, don't fill up here unless desperate, next village Frodsham 7p a litre lower or Sainsbury at Cheshire Oaks
