Happy FLT since 2011
We called at the Asda in Derby today to fill up with LPG.
As always with a MoHo you have to get very close to the kiosk but I had not spotted he canopy around the roof.

Ooopps

The manager got involved and photos and insurance details were taken.
Amazingly there was very little damage to the awning

What do the panel think?

Sorry for your misfortune. Pleased you had very little damage but the canopy looks sad. Not a cheap repair as it looks like a corner and side section.
 
Silly boy.
Looks like most of those scuff marks on your awning will polish out but I think the repair to Asda's kiosk will be expensive.
As it looks like an insurance claim so you might get a new awning & might be able to flog that one.
 
Sorry for your trouble. Its So easily done. But the insurance will cover it all. Nobody hurt, nothing to worry about.

Asda Been Drinking ?

Permanently Low Price canapes not canopies !

Someone will pocket the difference!

If I visit I think I'll get out to pay, or send the wife. Incidentally where's the LPG pump, I like to know the access before visiting but can't pick it up on streetview?

On street view LPG pump is the lane on the far right. The kiosk canopy is the one one the right centre

Revenge good job!

I had a sainsburys trolley park gutter take a 12" scrape above my windows. I wasn't looking that high up!!!

Cheers James
 
They'll definitely be claiming

It's just a roof edging not something to drive under.He shouldnt have got that close to the kiosk to pay.

If the van was no so wide and I could reach the credit card machine easier it wouldn't have happened.
Its a bit of a stretch from a MoHo especially when the now have anti covid screens
 
Well, on the positive side, the recent claim for the ramp damage will seem like small beer. That's a £ 7.5k claim for the canopy , special ally profile, one of painting ect,ect.

I see it now, awkward for me unless it reaches to the other side of the pump.

The same layout as the asda in Bristol I fill up at the other month. I walked to the till to pay as I didn't think I could get out. So I reversed back and went heough the pay at pump lanes. Somebody with a caravan had already taken out a pump. At least your insured.

On a positive note, we had an unfortunate bump on a roundabout that I had to admit fault . Polished out my damage , third party claimed, when I asked when I paid my excess, Comfort said as I didn’t claim for my vehicle I didn’t pay any excess 👍 and only a few pounds added at renewal 👍😁

might be worth asking before getting a new awning you don’t need 👍
 
I used the asda at york today to top up with gas on way home from whitby....I did think what a stupid idea the pay at drive through kiosk was 😕

I don't think I've ever paid from the MH cab at a fuel station. I always stop just before the kiosk and hop out and pay on foot. It's never occurred to me to do anything else. :)

When filling up our motorcycles we leave them at the pump and I walk to the kiosk to pay. Faffing around with my wallet whilst sitting on my bike is a pain.

Once had someone in France try to tell us to move, but just ignored them. Plenty of other pumps to choose from. 🤷‍♂️
 
Nearly did the same in Coventry Asda. They have now taken out the kiosk as pay at pump only I was informed by the workmen that they are all changing to stop drive offs
I would as if this is going to happen at your Asda before they go ahead with the repairs(y)

You could then charge them for starting the demolition :Grin:
 
1st time we used that pump they came out to warn us about the overhang,I think some one had previously hit it.
As we are LHD there is no way to pay from inside cab
