I like to call this the Phoenix Caltex; rising from the ashes, of…read morea former dingy, daggy and dated service station. (Not real ashes, mind- as that may prove to be a disaster waiting to happen. A corner servo; in front of st Silas church, and the intersection of Ferrars and Bridport streets. This Caltex often offers "two for one" pricing specials/deals on various junk food and sugary drinks. It has very basic grocery stock if you need to grab something in a hurry. Otherwise it sells magazines, newspapers, drinks, and the afore- mentioned assortment of confectionery, chips, chocolate bars, and various caffeinated liquid sugar beverages. Staff here rotate, but all are helpful. It also sells the regular servo paraphernalia. It can take quite some courage to surmount the correct tact and diplomacy to correctly enter this service station when it is "pumping" ha, ha a joke for all of you! When it is busy I mean. When you are needing to fill up. A lot of the time cars can be in all different directions, and there is generally a lot of honking, tooting, reversing and general confusion, in not only getting in here, but out. Many a time cars can be in multiple directions all trying to use the entry/exit points at once, simultaneously.

Open 24hrs, convenient stop to get petrol. Best thing is that you can get Myer one points here.read more

What? It's a business, I can review it if I see fit. This is literally the last business I…read morepatronised and I feel like reviewing something... and it sure beats writing that assignment I keep meaning to get onto before remembering the internet. Uhhhhh so, as is the case with most BPs, this one has petrol, but it also has gas pumps which is great if you were a big enough chump to listen to the government when they were lying to us about how we should all convert our Honda Civics into gas powered pussymobiles. In addition there is a car wash attached, which is great if you took your gas powered pussymobile off road and got it covered in mud, dust, leaves and the entrails of that troupe of boy-scouts you hit but pretended not to notice. Yeah those little merit patches stuck in your wipers will come off with those giant swishy brushes but the smudge on your soul is there for ever and nothing will get rid of that. Except maybe two cans of Mother for six bucks, or a massive discount on some random failed confectionery concept. BP has these things and more ... In terms of a local convenience store it is both local and convenient, but I guess that really depends on where you live and what you're hoping to buy. Like if you live in Greensborough and you're after a late night bathroom renovation, Swan street's BP is neither local nor convenient. But a Big M on the way home last night was not beyond their capacity and I'm glad because sometimes a girl needs artificially flavoured strawberry milk and waking up your housemates at 2am to ask if anyone has Nesquik will usually not get you any Nesquik and also get you evicted. Megafail. I just remembered that one time i went there to buy yesterday's paper, and the bitch behind the protective barrier made me pay. For a day old paper!! Even Baker's Delight gives you a discount on day old stock and they're assholes. Suddenly the protective barrier made sense. I still managed to poke a semi-automatic through the cables though so then again not really. Conclusion: buy your own Nesquik, get evicted, or give Swan st BP a try. Seriously, whichever, I don't care.

My experience with this agency on the property management side of things for my city based rental…read morehas been fairly good. It is annoying to sometimes receive text messages to pay your rent despite having just paid your rent two days earlier, although my agent is good at returning e-mails. They are slow in responding to repairs. Or this could be the side of the tradespeople doing the repairs, but still a little slow on this side. Great, they fixed my range hood, although after working on the washing machine, it is still broken. Apart from a few hiccups such as not receiving the signed copy of my lease, as well as a mix up in the time to sign my lease, the property managers are quite friendly, and they are fairly prompt in returning phone calls and e-mails. The agent assigned to me has a good personality and is great to get along with. The acid test is: if and when I buy an investment property in Melbourne, would I use this agent? The jury is out. The verdict is questionable. Probably not. Nowhere near as good as the Sydney agent I use for my investment properties up there.
