I was filling up this morning at one of those old style petrol stations, the ones where you can't pay at the pump with your card. Went into the shop to pay, only to find a huge queue. The cause of the hold up was someone trying to pay for his fuel in coins.
The gist of the argument was "this is a petrol station, not a bank, you can't pay in coins here", "yes I can, it's legal tender." Eventually, someone in the queue assumed the Henry Kissinger role and negotiated a settlement. He was allowed to pay with 5p 10p and 20p's but not the 1p and 2p's. They say we're heading for a cashless society. Bring it on!
