Why is the filling station an important setting in the novel, Danny the Champion of the World?

The filling and repair station is owned and operated by Danny’s father, and is also where Danny lends a hand in both car repair, car maintenance, and the filling of cars with gasoline. Behind the filling station is the small caravan where Danny and his father live. The filling station is where Danny and his father await the delivery of the poached pheasants, and becomes the scene of a showdown between Mr. Hazell, Sergeant Samways, Danny’s father, and the pheasants over who owns the
pheasants.
