went into local fuel robbers this morning, plan was to add enough diesel for the day. pump came up at £15.03. got in the horrendous queue, as only 1 till open. finally got there, gave him a £20 note and a 5p. the cretin had to use a calculator to work out the change. meanwhile 6 queuing behind me had to wait an extra 5 minutes while he got his phone out.i reallly do despair of the younger generation.

Shillings?

Would that be a 12p or a 5p shilling?

I always try and stop on 44.44 or 55.55 etc. It makes the accounts that tiny bit easier to do!!
