Yes indeed, Mr D, so I gathered ..... I couldn't really have chosen a better place to pick up the puncture. The petrol station people were friendly, it had a shop and a coffee machine..... and I could just about see the sea from where I'd parked the bike!
And as an aside, did you see the pic in MCN last week of a punctured scooter tyre "repaired" with layers of insulating tape?
