That’s how I do it if not filling up. Bit like a lottery - you win by getting it spot on, lose by going over a penny or two. :-D |

You choose how much you want by letting go of the trigger. |

I have just filled up at Tesco’s where this card thing originated and you can choose how much petrol you want. There were buttons beside the screen. |

Good old fashion cash is the answer, do away with debit and credit cards then no more fraud or confusion. |

There's a conundrum. did I use the phrase 'ring fenced' because that is the way the article was written - would I have otherwise said 'hold'. don't know the answer. |

Ring fencing means they put a hold on the money, then take what they are owed and release the surplus. |

Instead of the ring fencing of £1 card issuers, particularly visa, are to ring fence £100. The amount unspent should be released promptly. Unfortunately this doesn’t always happen , so one could get caught out (if unaware of the changes ) being unable to pay for later purchases. |

To be or not to be eco-friendly. The jury is out on that question. |

No Rollo I don't believe that. My post was intended as a jibe at Brexiters. There aren't any completely independent countries, Probably North Korea is the nearest to being one |

Kense. If you can remember the jingle, the days of "Golden ESSO Extra" are long gone. |

This happened before - some years ago. The 'held' amount was released sometime later. No big deal unless you are someone who regularly is maxed out to their cc limit. |

Surely we don't need E numbers in our petrol now we are an independent country. Didn't we get the Brexit we didn't ask for? |
