RANT - Bel-Air Southend

A buddy of mine kindly offered to get our tanks filled before the
weekend.

He was due to be working in Southend today, so a quick google found
this place:

Bel-Air Sub Aqua Supplies
82 Fairfax Drive
Westcliff-On-Sea Essex


Andy (who is only a little lad) duly lugs his twin 10s, my twin 12s
and a couple of extraneous 15s into the shop, only to be told, "Can't
fill those, they're Nitrox tanks, we only fill air."

Apparently the compressor is double filtered, "clean" air, but the
shop monkey would only contemplate filling the bottles if Andy removed
the Nitrox stickers first.

Muppet.

Suffice to say, that's one shop that won't be getting any more of our
custom.
