How Much...?

There is an upper limit of £29.65, but test centres can charge what they like up to that. An MOT certificate logged on the system only costs them something like £1.20, but you have to factor in their time doing the test as well.

I thought it was £29:65 ?

Englishish? I'm bloody Maltese.

The point is meant to be at half text height, so a dash is deemed acceptable.

I usually take a packet of Choccy Hobnobs along as well , it`s amazing how Choccy Hobnobs can make an MOT tester be slightly deafer than he usually is on Exhaust checks

I thought a point at half hight meant a continuation of a pattern.

A decimal (we use a decimalised currency) always appears at the bottom...

Them daft Euro lot use different standards.

ps I pay nothing for my MoT because the AA kindly cover mine

It would appear we are both correct to some extent. I just found this on tinternet

"In the nations of the British Empire, although the period could be used in typewritten material, the point (middle dot: ·), which can also be called an interpunct (often referred to as the decimal point) was preferred for the decimal separator in printing technologies that could accommodate it.[3] This had the advantage of reducing confusion in the countries that used the period to separate groups of digits and it was generally clearer in handwriting (particularly when writing on a dotted baseline as on many forms)."

As my family were brought up in the wonderful British Empire, it's no small wonder I was taught to use an interpunct, they also taught me to use it at junior school when we went decimal in the early 70s.
