On the Run

I’ve been in here a few times for petrol and supplies before heading out of Dublin. It’s fairly well stocked and the coffee is actually quite good — although they always try to sell you a muffin or something with it. They occasionally have very odd food stuff on offer — around December last year they were advertising their new Christmas roll, which was basically a white bread roll with ham, turkey and all the trimmings! Another time they were selling pre-​packed strawberries and cream at an exorbitant price. The same man is always behind the counter and he is a tad strange as well. I was in there one morning with my brother and he asked me if he was my father. My brother is less than two years older than me so this was a very peculiar question and not one that went down well with my brother!
