Prices were the samewhen it changed over. Only thig was that the little kids were pissed off that they couldn't use their pocket money to go to the sweet shop before school, cos their parents wrote cheques to put credit on the account. Hahaha.

nah, the extortion at my schoolwas that you could only top up with 50 pees and £1 coins, as well as notes (£10 and £20 only), so no matter how hard you tried, you couldnt spend it all.

The automated machinewhere people could top their cards up carried on breaking. The entire system ran over the network, so I went down to try and reboot / fix it once.
I opened it up with the key, peered inside, and realised that the entire thing was built on breakboard, save for a bit of networking stuff. A dry joint was causing the problem.
Retart start up company. Lowest bidder = shitty products.
