    Just don't leave refuelling until the tank's nearly empty!

    Until that time I can only advice the OP to keep am emergency £20 in his wallet in case there is no manned kiosk.

    If the kiosk isn’t manned who’s going to take the £20. :rotfl:

    Well the thing is its a very dangerous rule because it can leave people vunerable and if they are nearly out of fuel at risk of breaking down looking for an alternative garage.

    The thing is my local branch said its a new rule just started December 18th. She said it won't work now at any fuel pumps. I asked her whats the reason behind the new rule, she just replied its to prevent customers getting overdrawn. But fuel is the one thing we need. Otherwise we could be left stranded somewhere.

    So are you saying that Halifax should let you go overdrawn just because a fuel is something you need ?

    Get real. Fuel for your car is a luxury IF you can afford it ! Shanks pony is FREE !

    If you get stranded then you'll only have yourself to blame for not filling up when the station is fully open.

    Looks like you have a very interesting life story. Perhaps it should be in the fiction forum ;)
