Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 It's not that long ago, if you paid by credit/debit card, the shop assistant would swipe your card using one of these primitive, manual contraptions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Potato Puffs, well said Pixie! I used to love them but I haven't seen them for donkeys' years. I did a tourism HNC in the early 90s and these credit card machines were the ones I trained on. All gone now though - thankfully! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Worked at the newer pets at home in Daybrook arnold from the time it first opened, and we had to use one of these quite abit while the card machines went wappy!

Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 ....... went wappy! That's a phrase I haven't heard for a few years Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 And what a good phrase it is too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 It seems to have at least three meanings - (a) "gone wrong" - as in credit card machines; (b) "stupid/loopy/doo-lally" - as in people; © "floppy" - as in damp cardboard or very wet hardboard. Perhaps there are more - but I agree, a good and useful expression. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 ...and by the way, "c" in brackets doesn't always mean copyright ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
