    a friend of mine owns a conservatory business and has told me it is actually the law to display a list of payment methods at the point of purchase. a cheap a4 sign is not enough.

    62 is hardly elderly.

    How expensive does the sign need to be ? ( or what size for that matter )

    Funnily enough we have just ordered a conservatory , I wasn't shown a list of payment methods , does this mean I get it for free

    yeah yeah whatever you are all like children. i spoke to my friend who is a very successful conservatory company, a big name in this part of the country. he has told me that the trading standards act requires the retailer to provide a "full list of payment methods in a recognised format at the point of sale". the petrol station did not provide this.

    as for my mother i will call her what i want she is a lovely lady and did not deserve this treatment.

    English not being a recognised format ?

    Did you not see the notice when filling up ?

    no the format refers to being laid out correctly. it was very scruffy, we did see the notice but as it did not appear to be genuine we took no notice.
