Don't know about *09#, but 110 got the same result. Always good for reassurance at times of stress, that soothing little message. M |

They've always been pretty good with me - I think my failure rate on those chocolate machines is probably around 90%. Taking the best part of 2-3 minutes to vend is a bit of an evil trick though - you do have to hope the arrival times are reasonably accurate! Does that *09# trick still work? I *think* it was that anyway, used to come back with "EVERYTHING OK!" on the machines... You now tap in 110 and that will bring up the status of the machine. |

If you do, the machine will take control of your mobile via Bluetooth and start calling premium rate numbers at 1.50UKP a minute! This was told to me by a friend that was scammed in just this way, and it's been confirmed by Cadbury's. Please pass this on to everyone you know.......  Jonathan |

wrote: The problem with the present business model for vending machines, is that the machines have become *too* reliable. Funny that. I gave up using them due to money just being swallowed. As recently as a couple of weeks ago, I saw a couple of people having the smae problem (at Oxford Circus I think) and I took to advising people not to put their money in. The occasional Coke machines are still working, though. -- James Farrar . @gmail.com |

Do you know those people? Would they approve of you taking photographs of them and putting them on the internet? Especially in the case of the young lady, assuming that you're insinuating something about her breasts. Mr.Harris. |
