Although credit card fraud and ATM 'skimming' is big here. Adam recently had his pathetic savings 'skimmed' from an ATM that had been rigged to empty his account. The bank were onto it toot sweet though and refunded his cash. Good advice about taking envelopes back to the bank even if it's mistaken identity. Personal service from a bank? Don't make me laugh. Now there's a fee to transact over the counter! Sounds like my wallet. Although credit card fraud and ATM ’skimming’ is big here.

WWW - How long will it be before the microchips are inserted at birth? BHB - My mun never carried a bag or coin purse. She wore one glove and stuck her money inside the glove so she always had it in the palm of her hand.

He might be able to buy a postage stamp or two. I do carry credit cards and that would pose a problem. Of course, you can cancel them immediately but it takes two weeks to get your new one. I guess I could save some money that way, though. ;-) Any thief who stole my purse would be sadly disappointed, also. He might be able to buy a postage stamp or two.

Some of those chip & pin machines are weird, no two are the same. I often wonder if they are ever cleaned or left full of dust. Magpie - You, Nick and I are all old enough to know that story. I used to know all the staff in the local bank - we all had children at the same school. Most of them seem to have moved on now. Ramana - With the talk of cheques being made obsolete we will all have to do things online. I suppose cash will be the next thing to go. We have come a long way from the barter system! Maynard - I think you would £4 in your pocket to buy a pint nowadays. Glad I seldom drink the stuff! Nick - I dislike using an ATM if there is someone near me with a mobile phone.
