Shell filling stations hassle

[Robbie8666]

here's another idea for a frustrated customer (and will likely get some mixed reactions on here) - this seems like a perfect chance to get rid of the bottle of coppers you have in the house - take £20 from it with you next time, especially when they're busy and after having removed your lid etc in the queue, hand over the change.

nice idea however according to the royal mint you cant do that, mate of mine tried to pay a parking fine in pennies n 1/2p's and the court wouldn't accept it!!!
