That tip about one hand over the other might prove difficult for someone with manual dexterity problems but a hint about that Enter key which Carol mentions is that there is often a circle on it, it is green and long and on the bottom right. The clear key is above it, smaller and a yellow colour. Until I got used to it, I used to let the shop assistant press the Enter button. I really do not think people that close to you, helpers or shop assistants will be unkind regarding your pin, not like people who set out to mug one, like myself, an easy target walking with a guide dog in an area where there were no people. Certainly and thankfully nobody, not even my mugger even attempted to use any of my cards. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Make sure, before you start, you know where the "Enter" is, then there's no way you have to ask for help while you're entering the number and sending it off.If you can manage to enter the numbers, I suggest you place one hand over the top of your fingers with which you're putting in the numbers. In this way, people can't really see what numbers you're entering.Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Adrien Collins" <adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'access uk'" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 5:06 PM Subject: [access-uk] Questions about chip and pinHi I am going on holiday next fortnight, I will be with carers, I will obviously need money and will have to pay for things in shops, I am in a wheelchair and normally get help from mum who goes with me but I will be with strangers, what is the best way to use the chip and pin in shops and banks?
