Petrol and debit cards

I stopped at a BP this morning to fill my car up with petrol. I did what I have done a million times before; I gave the gentlemen my keys, asked him to please fill up the car and went to draw money from the ATM.Alas the ATM was not working. I found the owner of the store wandering around and told him. He made some small talk joke about me breaking it, haha, thanks where can I get money?He laughed, looked at me, laughed, looked at an advert, chuckled - in frustration now - and told me that BP have spent a boat load of money advertising that they now accept debit cards as payment for petrol.Who knew about this? Who has heard a BP advert? Have you? 'Cause I haven't.Anyways, I think it's fantastic. I never really quite understoof why petrol was the one thing that was either cash or petro-card that almost no one had.Get to a BP today and pay with your debit card. You know why? Because they like to keep you moving.
