Can you imagine wanting to make sure you drove by a 

certain gas station every day?  Just to see what the message 

was on the chalkboard?    It's true -- a gas station has 

become quite a landmark in Gauteng, South Africa, 

with its daily #PetrolPumpWisdom, which are 

uplifting quotes are written on a chalkboard. 

Some people say they deliberately travel this route 

just to read the the quote which brightens their day.

 

       The  lady behind this wonderful initiative is Alison Billett.HydeParis is Alison Billett.     She told SA   People: 

 “We inherited the board from the previous owner, Dick Hutton, when we bought the filling station from him almost 20 years ago.   “We continued the tradition and it has become a landmark – more so now that it’s on social media!”  

 

            
 

“Not a day goes by when I don’t get a call or a visit 

from someone to tell me how much they appreciate the message. 

It seems that every day there’s something that just speaks 

to what is going on in someone’s life and 

that inspires or motivates them.

“Having people come and tell me their stories and how 

the quote helped them in some small way is what motivates 

me to keep writing!  “We use a variety of quotations – 

some are topical, some are funny, some are inspirational, 

some even reflect what is going on in my life that day!  

   

“Different things appeal to different people...   

 

 

“The boards have appeared many times in newspapers 

and magazines and been spoken about    

 on radio stations all over the world."
