Why do US vending machines accept banknotes and most of ours dont? Wouldn't it be nice to put a £20 note in for a mars bar and get the change without a dirty look from a cashier? :LOL: And similarly, wouldn't it be nice to use a vending machine without having to ask for change first?

I cannot believe that the number of times you've lost your money in a vending machine is so low that you'd be prepared to trust a £20 note to one...
 
i think people are reluctant to put notes in vending machines in case they dont get change esp if there isnt anyone to ask for a refund, anyway you would get 19 pound coins change P M
 
I love that in US airports you can insert youe Amex Gold card (or whatever) to hire a luggage trolley for 60p

:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: you ever tried buying a ticket for the london tube.. i dont think you would get further than Kings Cross :LOL: :LOL:
 
London??
you wouldnt get me on the tube!
Im happy in my rural cumbria with one bus every 4 weeks that I can catch 38 miles away from my house.
 
I had to visit Tamworth about five years ago. Parked my car and went to get my parking token to put on the windscreen. Parking fee say 70p Can't recall exact amount but if you put a pound coin in you get change.
W O R N G. No change and no sign saying no change given. The chap I was with helped me look all over for a sign saying no change given. This was a Council car park. Off I went to the town hall to have a word or ten in the ear of the pric* incharge of car parking. The lady at reception being the perceptive sort informed me HE was out. I want my change so nip up to his office and get it from one of his staff. None of them are in. O K let me speak to the trading standards office. They don't operate from this building and the building they do operate from is the other side of Tamworth. All lies. My solisitor wrote to them and they said there was a sign stating No change given. I bet there blo*ywell was by then. If a private car pak had tried these tricks the council would have come down on them like a ton of bricks. Still at least I managed to get the bast***s to put up a sign to protect other users. By Jove Mrs that feels better.

Just one other thing Tamworth was shut.


BE HAPPY
