Tesco Garage Opening Times

Amazing! Nowhere on the whole internet, as far as I can gather, is there anywhere you can find out the opening times of Tesco Garages! It's different from Tesco stores, as you probably know. For example my local one I know for sure that it opens at 6am every morning, because I went passed one Sunday morning that I needed fuel and was pleasantly surprised - the main store doesn't open until 10am on a Sunday. I know you can pay at the pump, but the receipt mechanism doesn't always work, and anyway I wanted to get some milk at the same time.

So despite having a swanky store locator where you can zoom in and out, Tesco.com (as at 18 Aug 2007) can't even provide as basic a piece of information as the opening times of their garages... how annoying is that! I don't know what local number to call to get through to them - suppose I could look that up in Yell.com - hey that's an idea, I don't want to dial some 0870 or 0845 nonsense number and get charged through the nose to find out... I just wanted a straight forward little bit of information about whether the tesco garage 10 minutes away is open or not, and what time its open until, and is it on their web site? ... Well I can't find it, despite being easily able to find 20 bits of information about their call centre, open times of the main store etc. etc.

When I find out the what the opening times of the local tesco garage are, I'm going to add them, here, then at least there'll be ONE place on the Internet where you can get the opening times of ONE tesco garage... and that will be a start.
