Mathematical Genius..... NOT.

You should be nice to them, for the sacrifices they gave.

There is a nice article about a Grom class Polish warship helping defend the Isle of Wight during a German bombing run during WWII.

All in jest @SWD I promise, nothing but the utmost respect to all who served I assure you

If you want to really confuse them... if it's say £9.70 I sometimes give them the odd 20p... I reckon 9 times out of 10, they immediately give you back the 20p !

Not necessarily confused Zerax.
You've paid £10.20, so 50p change. If I was on the till, you'd get what I wanted to get rid of, normally smaller change. So more than likely 20s and 10s while I hold on to 50s. Unless you specifically asked for a 50p.

I work 50 hours a week as an electrician, so obviously I have to supplement my wages with other work.

Why pay for fuel with cash? Use a card and any penny over nonsense is a non-issue.

It’s not all the youth I promise,I have 2 thirteen year olds who have been doing hexadecimal calculations......and laugh at me if I offer any help!....google it!

I used to use hex for pitch bending notes on music sequencing software in the Amiga days.

The tax man can trace card payments, the scoundrels of the world use cash........

i normally try to stop it on a round no. but with the price of fuel these days a 0.01 second delay clocks up a few shillings,

I still try and stop it on a round figure even when I'm paying by card. I think its just my OCD though.

i do the same .trouble is the price of fuel, just a teaspoonful clocks up a penny or 3.

Ah.. but you see I use it as a challenge to test out my reactions. If I miss the first rounded figure then I try and stop it at the next. I've often been at a pump stop starting, anyone watching must think I'm a proper nut job, they'd be correct of course

you'd be buggered then when the tank was brim full at £89.95 then.

My father in his 80's still drives around in an old van..bless. He is still quite a competent driver considering. Though these days he often puts petrol in rather than diesel, he also drives all round town finding the cheapest rate but again miss reads the sign and thinks he's found somewhere with really cheap diesel only to realise too late that it was in fact unleaded he had seen.

That just made me chuckle cause not so long ago i filled up to the brim and it finished on an uneven value, so I kept edging the nozzle out until I got to a rounded value, at which point I noticed it overflowing onto the floor

 

[telectrix]

this is where Ford (and maybe others) have got wize. my lady's Ford diesel has a clever fuel filler that a petrol nozzle won't fit in.

As a biker I would ask anyone (especially truck drivers) NOT TO BRIM DIESEL WHEN FILLING UP.
