filling up with fuel

They fill up at normal garages, seen them loads, they use fleet cards
for the fuel and they have to use thier own if they want any drinks or
food.

Indeed. I presume they have some sort of deal to avoid paying the large
amount of tax on it?

Police budgets must be suffering by the recent price explosion?

Which recent price explosion?
Fuel prices haven't risen *that* much
The gas and electricity rises are much more likely to be a problem
I sensationalised for extra effect... :-D

Hm! next you'll be saying you never see coaches filling up either!

Well, I've never seen the Queen's car fill up or stop at a motorway
services, presumbly, it must run on somekind of solar power? And she
must have some kind of top secret services she can pull into, if she
facnys a coffee and a Ginster's pasty, perhaps, those "Works Units" you
see are actually, secret Royal service stations. Makes you think don't
it.
