How will we cope?!

It looks like self service petrol pumps are coming to Dubai. How will we be able to cope? Soon we'll have to get out of our car and actually put the nozzle in the vehicle ourselves! The next thing we know we'll have to spend more than the 70 AED (£9.90) to fill up our tank!

(Don't worry i'm joking. But you'll be surprised how badly some people are taking the news here!)

"I am an Arab and I am sure women from this part of the region will make a big fuss about the entire thing. The majority would prefer the attendant to fill their fuel tank."
