I could/should have been clearer in the OP. While up to £1.50 was mentioned in conversation as to what some places had demanded the guy in the village charged, I think, 50p. That was levied on Pay Point, Lottery and any transaction under £8. Never paid it myself as shop is one of very few places I now use cash. Since I've had a 'touch and go' debit card even the sarnies from Greggs go on the card. If I still commuted I'd probably use it for the paper too.
There's no cash point at all in the village. It's been investigated but like Pay Point it would struggle to cover costs of installation, dedicated phone line etc. The convenience store in next village does have one but they're part of a chain so probably get a better deal from the cash machine provider than our guy who's independent.
