I recall a "strong smell of drugs" being bandied about on that old one... happy days... :beer:

there are no drugs at this petrol station but the staff do bring their own sandwiches to work sometimes, i see them smoking and eating nearby on occasion.

i visited the garage today to fill up my husband's car and they were able to accept cards. i informed them that they did not have a clear sign up stating that they accepted cards, but they declined to admit that they were required to do this.

i am boycotting from today as should you. the problem is the other garage only sells to regular customers at special rate so is best avoided.

Are you sure? I heard they can only offer such discounts if they have a legal sign, which must be verified by a door-to-door conservatory salesman.

how long do you intend to boycott them for - until the car runs low again.

i have a friend who works in stairlift manufacture who informs me that a boycott can be considered a "compulsary public action" which does not provide a dedicated list of rules or timeframes that should be adhered to. it does however result in the action being seen as something which others are liable to face requirement to conduct.

Now I'm 100% sure that Emz is a troll. So, so funny that there is now a stairlift manufacturer. Well done Emz11.

So what rate does it sell to irregular customers?

If they don't have a sign saying they take cards does that mean you are breaking the law by offering them an "under the counter " card payment ? Do you hand it over wrapped in a £10 note
