50 pence worth of embarrassment

Got my bike from its MOT this morning and on the way home I filled up and decided to check the tire pressure.

So, with the bike on the center stand, dust caps removed, I deposit the requisite 50 pence. The Compressor fires up and I set the digital gauge to 36 PSI and approach my front wheel, it is only then I find there is no way to get the nozzle on because of the brake discs!

As I try all conceivable angles to get the darn thing on I notice people waiting for the air/water, not to look stupid I replace the dust cap and confidently approach the rear wheel only to find the angles just as difficult.
A little embarrassed I decided to leave it and use the little car pump at home.

I hope I am not the only one to have done this!
