Anyone know whats happening with them, having seen them mentioned in another thread. On 1st October 2011 the Govt will ban Cigarette vending in pubs. Sinclair Collis took legal action to try to force a judicial review and lost the case. They have been allowed to appeal and the appeal will be held th...

We are trying to get some e-cigs sited currently after I met Dave and I like the product. The problem we are having is that most of our pubs have been told by their brewery that they cannot have them in the pubs. The issue is that it allows someone to visibly smoke in the pub, so other customers wil...

...so you enter your account number / swipe card first and then pour in the coins, to be clear they don't charge you for cash counting, sounds good.

No it spits them out, with any trolley tokens.

Do they charge much for it? Free to use. The problem is that very very few HSBC branches have them and there's no way of finding out which branches do other than actually going in and checking. They are fitting them to new and re-furbished branches, as they are increasingly trying to automate their...

Hows that work with HSBC do you have to bag it first then they check??? No, if you pay in via plastic money bags over the counter anywhere they never check to my knowledge, as they don't have any equipment to do so. Same as every branch. What we use are the very large coin paying in machines that a...
