A part of me cant help think this was accidental.

Well after todays performance at Old Trafford and Smiths double ton, the bill was justified 😉

Moral of this story is ALWAYS charge your items and never use debit. At least with a charge you can always alert the card processor of an error and dispute the charge until it is cleared up, but with a debit card that money goes bye bye immediately. Better yet, use cash and the problem never arises.

So the guy had over £55,000 in a directly debitable account probably earning no interest.

Really?

For six nines of the 1st world population that charge would have been refused by the bank.

I think we are all missing the point. Isn't it simply good to overcharge Aussies. Are you with me brothers 🍿

Aussie's are used to looking at it upside down, so he must have thought it read 000,22

Peter Lalor is a famous name in Australian-English relations. Perhaps the English publican saw an opportunity to settle some very old scores 😉
