There's one pump at my local Tescos that cannot be squeezed fully open
without it clicking off constantly ... you have to dribble fuel in at about
half speed.

I too wish that pumps still had the ability to be locked open ... holding a
cold nozzle on a wet winters night is a sould destroying experience! ;-)
