Two shocks on the way to work

On my way to work this morning I had 2 shocks.

First shock, I was crossing a roundabout, but the guy to my left decided
I didn't have right of way and just kept on going which meant I had to
throw on the brakes as hard as possible. Eventually he did notice me but
he didn't seem to take any avoiding action like braking or accelerating,
he just watched me getting closer and closer. Tosser.

Second shock, I stopped to fill up for petrol this morning, and for the
first time ever it came to £20. £20 is significant to me because at
Texaco you get a 2p off voucher when you spend £20 or more, but because
I ride a bike I could never reach it so I always missed out on the deal.
About 4 months ago I brought a spare fuel can which if I filled my bike
tank and the spare tank at the same I could just about reach £20. That I
can now put £20 of petrol in just the bikes tank is a very visual
demonstration of how much petrol has gone up in just 4 months.
