  1. Hi guys. I’m So glad I read this. Long story short, I’m going back to the shell garage this morning to video myself attempting to make payment of £10 , yes 10 of your finest pounds Stirling to which I assume I will get a knock back. But out of principle , I cannot role over and pay a £6 so called admin fee. I’ve not contracted with them right ? I didn’t see the 8” x 6” signage above the pump as much as they didn’t see the signage on my dashboard with my terms and conditions and hourly fee for my time spent /wasted , and it’s a fair distance from £6 I can tell ya. !! There was no signage on the cash machine stating that the 6 option buttons to the left and right of the screen were not responding, resulting in no options available. Grrrrrrrrr. So I Couldn’t get the big £10 note out. Incidentally for my motability scheme car whilst on way to hospital for my chemo for multiple myeloma an incurable blood cancer which in my case , at 47 years old , it’s a poor prognosis...... ( facts ) The cash machine let me down and I head straight into the kiosk to explain to the guys that I will have to drive to another cash machine to get some dollars out, here is my driving license if you wanna keep hold of that so you know I’m coming back. Simples. Now anyone with half a brain and a rough idea of the most basic mathematics , would assume if I can only afford a tenner for fuel then I’m unlikely to be in a position to replace a driving license at what? £80 I’m guessing? the guy tried shoving an iPad in my hand and told me I’m to fill out the blanks. No chance without my readers and the chemo induced peripheral neuropathy in both shaky hands. So I gave my details like a respectable citizen and he filled it out for...... .........well not....for me. Even took a happy snap of my mug , car , driving license and receipts for £10 fuel ( which says “”letter of intent” instead of paid ) and I thought well I’ll leave it at that and take it up with fce and off I went. So I’ve not signed anything , I’ve not committed theft and as far as I can make out from the comments on here that by my entering the forecourt and dispensing fuel I’ve contracted with Shell ? Right ? So for Shell to uphold their commitment to our contract they are required to accept payment?? I’ll update my progress later today and possibly video footage As if they are getting a penny. I’m registered severely disabled with a motability scheme car and blue badge etc. Would this have leverage if i use my cancer card. It’s not often I do but in December last year my prognosis was months not years. Max 12 but unlikely. Again the maths is a simple one. I won’t be seeing Christmas according to an independent medical expert witness for my nhs-r compensation. ( lnwh admited liability, causation and breach of duty of care, causing 14 fractured vertebrae, 2 collapsed vertebrae, fractured sternum, plasmacytoma in my skull, loss of sensation in left arm and sever nerve pain and the significant progression of the disease throughout the visualised marrow in the 9 months delayed diagnosis from a previous mri Scan where the radiologist reported prolapsed disk ( which I didn’t have ) and the Myeloma is clearly visible throughout
  2. I've noticed this sign displayed in a few petrol stations recently, and would be interested in other member's views. Although I appreciate the problem of no-pay drive-aways, I don't think this is a proper or lawful way to address it. The purported 'contract' is badly written in a google-translate legal style, and in parts makes no sense at all. I dislike the hectoring tone, and the use of a Police image to imply official endorsement. And I don't think that the display of this notice creates a contract with effect or enforceability anyway. Firstly because there is no acceptance. I do not believe they can foist a contractual duty upon customers by simply displaying a sign. I could put a sign in my car window say "any fuel I buy will be priced at 1p per litre, please do not supply fuel if you do not accept these terms", but no court would uphold it. Secondly, the alleged parties to the alleged contract are not clearly stated (at the bottom of the notice there is a bizarre, rambling phrase which amounts to nothing). Who exactly am I contracting with here? They appear to imply that this is a separate contract to the retail purchase of fuel, but the terms are wholly unclear. And following from above, if this is separate to my purchase of fuel then there is no consideration involved. The author of the poster appears to dimly perceive that problem, and purports that the customer receives value by being granted various options for payment (astonishing nonsense). The end purpose of this exercise is that if one day I forget my wallet, or my credit card won't work in the POS terminal, they want me to pay a penalty. This has happened to me twice in nearly 40yrs of driving, and on both occasions I have left my name and address and returned later to pay the cost of the drawn fuel 'over the counter'. I have no intention of accepting any other arrangement, and I would not accept this process being foisted upon me. So that's my opinion, would be interested in what others think?
