    thank you this is the proof of the trading standards act.

    i visited the shell garage yesterday and they do now accept credit and debit cards however there is no sign up stating this - violation of the act as stated above. i asked where there sign was and they informed me they do not have one. ILLEGAL. there is also no sign up advertising halal only sandwiches. you have to check the label of the sandwich to find out.

    Tell you what OP, as you think it's illegal, have a word with your local Policeman. That should sort them out eh ? Let me know when you're speaking to them, I'd quite like to be there :rotfl:

    If it was my petrol station I'd ban you and your elderly mother for life. That will sort out your issues with illegal signs and sandwiches.

    They always accepted them , just the card machine was out of order when you went.......thought you were boycotting them anyway ?

    Is advertising halal sandwiches another trading standards act;)

    Use your one remaining (and barely functioning) brain cell to absorb this sentence - THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE TRADING STANDARDS ACT!

    If you think that your mother was insulted by not being allowed to pay by card when it was clearly broken, you obviously have some mental difficulties that are beyond the reaches of modern medicine.

    Just been to shell to fill up. Disappointed to find no notices, and my amex worked perfectly. As I have nothing to moan about I'm feeling left out.
