have other drivers who pull into garages noticed a trend that’s been going on for the last year regarding chocolate bars and newspapers,everytime I go into a garage I keep being asked would I like 3 cadburys crème eggs for a pound,or any other form of chocolate,also would I like a free telegraph newspaper,i am diabetic type 2 and I reply thanks but not allowed regarding chocolate then you get asked oh whys that,to which I have to explain about the diabetes,then the newspaper,cant they sell the bloody telegraph cos I get asked everyday,lets face it who reads the telegraph
Never had the Telegraph offered but get the chocolate offered all the time.
I reply giving different degrees of menacing offended looks and say ‘‘Do you not think I’m fat enough’’ and get different reactions from them, from them looking at me like I’m about to hit them (the blokes) to an apology usually from the women.

I usually reply similarly regarding my weight
My usual reply is ‘If I wanted some they would be on the counter/or in the basket (when in poundland) so the answer is no !’
every time i answer no thanks - they are just doing a job and dont need snidey smart alecs responses

You appear to be in a bad mood, are you still smarting from the comments to your request for names of hauliers who do tramping thread ? 
Never been offered the paper but the sweets yep often normally reply no thanks fat enough

Quite right.
If I’m in a really good mood I just decline their offer politely and show them a picture of my ■■■■.
