Brindisi 1994. Light aircraft ferry so only about 70 gals needed.
Fuel place took only cash or Eurocheques. Had to take a taxi downtown to get the cash on my credit card. Banks were useless, but eventually managed to get cash by pretending to buy about 80 pizzas at a very helpful pizzeria.
As I paid, another pilot came in looking to pay for the fuel in his 727 and waving an Amex card about......
I died laughing. I wonder how many pizzas that was?
