    The rules of the road state you should only use lane 3 (the overtaking lane)if traffic in lane 1 and 2 is moving in queues and you need to overtake to make room for merging traffic.If you see 3 lanes or merging traffic on the ring road may i suggest specsavers.

    This reads like you only think lane 3 on a motorway is the overtaking lane and not lane 2.

    There is a cash pump there. Have used it twice.

    Cheapest around at the moment. Had no trouble with it.

    Do you just feed with notes like a reverse ATM?

    Yup. Type in the amount of fuel in euro, then insert the cash. If you over estimate, and car won't take the amount you've paid for, you get a credit receipt for the balance to use next time. Happened to me first day and used the credit receipt 2nd time. (scanned the barcode before inserting cash).

    It's the pump furthest away from entrance on left/near side.

    I hardly use cash now as it happens but I'm not a fan of these bleak fuel only stations, lets face it part of the ritual is to go inside and buy an expensive chocolate bar or loaf of bread! Not too mention a sandwich or soft drink, coffee all of which the others in the area offer.

    Disagree there, it might just concentrate control of our monetary systems

    It's inevitable anyway and it makes every citizen and business transparent and accountable.

    Cashless means centalised control, notes are discreet and offer agency to every person.

    exactly! this is another strong reason why it may never happen, humans will probably always want an element of anonymity, theres a fairly strong push back for the cashless society, i cant see it happening just yet

    Middle of a pandemic. Talk of lock down. So many people on covid payments, and our councillors choose to up the property tax.

    That whole post was completely deleted. Wonder did they realise the error of their ways or didn't like the negative publicity. Some people were commenting on their negative experiences in the said place. Etc.

    I don't like giving businesses bad press, but when a local business does something as crass and ill-conceived as that you lose respect.
