asda fuel stations

[Barry98]

does anyone know the crack with these self services pumps , where you swipe your card before purchasing fuel

today i filled the van up , put the nozzle back and drover off .

normally you have two options receipt wanted or not wanted .

does this need to be pressed to end the sale or is it automated and goes off after so long

didn't occur to me until 2 mile down the road someone might of jumped on after me and used my card

Simple answer is no it doesn't need to be pressed, the pump will switch that off after a very few seconds (have had to go to the kiosk to get a receipt on more than one occasion because I was too slow - you will notice this as you, also, get older and slower!) and after you have replaced the nozzle the pump will start a new transaction anyway.

Pull up, put your card in and pin number and remove card, fill up whatever you want, put nozzel back and request receipt.

They should also have a vending machine that sells Twirls for 85p like in a real petrol station. 85p!!!

 

[Barry98]

do they still make twirls , i used to like there secrets

 

[Phil]

Cadbury's secrets? Not heard of them, are you thinking of a Spira bar?

Twirls are basically a chocolate covered Flake, nice though.

 

[mountainman]

Cadbury's Flake, yum.

I also loved Magic Moments, but that malarky went pear shaped when the (ex) missus found out 😉

I think the term is "off topic" - which ironically were made by Mars, not sure if they still make them though.

 

[Dotty]

I'm still addicted to Twix.

 

[Barry98]

chocolate first or all in one

 

[Dotty]

All in one, only way to go.

Spangles.

Curly Wurly.

Drifters.

And our Tesco has pumps that you key in how much you want to spend. When you're a tight fisted Scot like me, going over by a penny is like dying.
