Read carefully. This hasn't happened to me but I just wondered what the position would be.
I pull into a service station. A sign says "It is an offence to fuel your car without the means to pay" or similar. So I put £50 in. I go to pay with a £50 note - all I have on me at the time -and the staff tell me "We don't accept £50 notes".
Now - I have offered the Queen's currency i.e. legal tender and it has been refused. I offer my name and address (genuine). I cannot give the petrol back so where, legally, do I stand?
