Some bloke in a shop expects you to put your card in an electrical scanner & then tell it your pin code as well.I don`t think so.
How do you know what is a real machine & what isn`t ? If I showed you a warrant card would you recognise what it is & is it Kosher?,unless of course you move in those circles.
Well i ain't being funny CHEVY !!!!!!!!!! BUT if you don't wanna use your CHIP & PIN you draw money from a CASH MACHINE is the normal alternative ........ I think Large Chain Stores SUCH AS MORRISONS / DEBENHAMS etc their chip & pin machines should be Legitimate and at the end of the day the French have been using this for years and had hardly any problems. The only reason we never had this before is because our government is stubborn and didn't wanna follow suit ....... look where that got us !!!

I`m alright tho as my card co dont do chip n pin at the mo,hopefully wont,how do ya know it the staff in Morrys or debs avn`t mucked wiv the machine or replaced.if the girls on the perfume concessions in Harvey Nichs in town can run call girls via the tills then anything is poss.
if the government were really stubborn i wud still have a brit passport
Papers reported over the weekend that Restaurants were unlikely to use Chip n Pin as it isn`t correct procedure to expect a customer to pay at any other location than at the table.
In France they have portable one's that they bring to your table when you pay. The ruling is now though that shops have to have these Chip & Pin machines as the banks will not guarantee the old ways. If it is fraudulant the banks will not pay the shop as they have been informed and had plenty of notice

Just had a nose in me wallet,to see what all the fuss was about on Chip n pin.I`ve checked the cards out and none of `em are Chip n Pin.So,if the financial institutions want to shift their responsibilties of fraud protection to the retailer they`re a bit slow off the mark.
Surely these high profit creating instituitions are trading abroad in Europe as well,so why slow in the UK?Perhaps those in Euro land jump at every new idea with out thinking it thru`The German did with the Euro & are now regretting it,I understand that a new currency has been created over there.
I think I agree with Flamer`s comments.You`ve got to be careful in which machine you put your card & then give it the access code as well.Asking for trouble that is!
Couldn`t agree more mate,everything has to change,if it didn`t we wouldn`t get any further forward would we,perhaps we can change the Government,perhaps get peace all round the world even.Looks like Labour is having a go a canceling third world debt which is great.brilliant change eh!What do you think.?
Er,I would just like to ask,if I may please,I`m sure all that read this will be very interested in the answer. When your refer to "U lot shit urself" who exactly are you aiming that comment at?
It can`t be me,as I agree that we do need changes!
i totaly agree wit Husky. and what Chevy said we cant go through r whole lives with things staying the same for ever u have to have change and 9/10 its 4 the gd.
I`ve got a code from me bank to get cash out of the account even though I don`t use it because either my wife gets the cash for me or my secretary does out of petty & I sqaure up later.So,just now instead of using the Amex in a store,I used the cash card and it worked.Good innit.All I`ve got to do now is get me credit card companys to issue them.
Aldi ? I guess that may be a tradesman in Ipswich.My wife tells me that our local provisions suppliers are more than happy with a cheque once a month.
Chip n Pin is OK by me. Only problem is sometimes people behind you can see what you tap in. I suppose if your an old dear like Flamer you could have your card nicked and the t leaf has your pin too.
Chevy the Pikey...A new nick name for you perhaps?
