At a different morrisons, I got charged for diesel when putting in petrol. I had a good sniff to make sure i had put petrol in. I did pick up the diesal hose first, but then put it down and got petrol. Something to watch for (or just be careful which one you pick up to start with)!

I always take an extra moment before committing to which hose to choose, and haven't had the misfortune to have ever misfuelled, despite regularly swapping between petrol and diesel vehicles

Whatever, it doesn't reflect well on the AA. Personally, I gave up on the two major recovery outfits years ago after the RAC botched recovery of my 955 Sprint - too long a story to tell here, suffice to say it was a monumental lash up by them from first to last. I've been with AutoAid ever since, have used them twice (cars both times) and had brilliant service.

Same here, with Green Flag. Had to use them a couple of times for the van, twice on a bike and once in the car and I've never had to wait more than an hour for them to attend. Plus, when I told them I was on a bike they made sure they sent a suitable vehicle for recovery
