WARNING - Avoid Shell

Rev

This whole thread had given me a right giggle. OP sees sign. Decides it doesn't apply to her and she can ignore it. Then gets stroppy when she is informed she can't ignore said sign. Has to go ALL the way outside the shop to get cash from the machine.

Then asks mate who sells conservatories (not just any old conservatory though. A big name conservatory in the area) if it's legal. But other friend of friend also confirms it's indeed illegal. They own a washing company after all. So 100% know the law. And now shell are criminals.

Such a shame. This could have all been avoided if Shell had put up a more expensive sign.


Hahahahahahaha.......hahahaha you couldn't make this up.


Properly funny.

Thank you so much everyone for making me and OH laugh, best thread since the Subway one, and Emz's total ignorance I think actually tops the Subway post.


Troll or not, highly entertaining - some people are so stupid a Darwin Award would be too good for them.

Still dont understand Emz11 why the Cash only sign is/was a problem, it would clearly tell me cash was only accepted for that day due to the card payment system not working. If worse comes to the worse you withdraw cash from the atm and pay with that.

OP repeatedly says that it has to be at the point of payment, so if they didn't take cards at all, surely she wouldn't have known this until she got to the till?
All they would have to do to fit into OP's invented Trading Standards Act is to remove the pictures of the card issuers at the till. Then she wouldn't be able to complain as at the point of payment, it only said cash.

Wait, there isn't someone sat in a factory somewhere squeezing pee out of bees?
MOTHER YOU LIED!!!!!!

My mate Nigel who owns a dog poop cleaning company said he has a cat that once told me that they don't squeeze the bees as that would be animal cruelty as described in the bee cuddling (non squeezy act) of 1982.

In fact they catherterize them. If the cat said it it must be true.

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THE SIGN WAS ILLEGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in breach of the trading standards act and because the sign was so scruffy not normal person would assume it was a sign. inside the shop was also scruffy and no care was taken to ensure the legally recognised sign was by the till. i could not withdraw cash from the atm as there was a skimming device attached to it at that point in time.

Just tell us the name of the law eg. Trading Standards Act 1864 and the relevant section that makes such signs legal or illegal.

that is right it is the trading standards act 1864. it is section 9b i think, my friend who owns the conservatory firm (graham) has confirmed this for me as has another friend (nigel) who works for b&q so is in retail.

There is no such thing as the trading standards act 1864.

Also, there's so much bovine excrement contained in your posts I can actually smell it through my computer screen.

You're of the highest order of morons.

Far too much to make fun of so just a question.


if you didn't use the cash point due to the skimmer, how did you pay for the petrol?

No such thing as the Trading Standards Act. The signs weren't illegal, you're just talking rubbish. I really hope you're a troll because I don't want there to be someone this iidiotic allowed to use the internet.
