Now Adrien you are confusing me *smile*. You are saying that it is not all that easy where you live re you getting to the machine but then you say you are coming to the UK for the 2 weeks. I am fairly certain now that most shops in the UK will now be able to accommodate your inelastic arms and will be most accommodating of your difficulties. If in any form of doubt, I would in your situation simply ask if a Manager could assist me with the payment. Yes of course you can trust your Mum, as you say where would you be without her. I think going on a holiday, a new experience brings anxieties but try to relax a little about it and I am sure you will do just fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrien Collins" <adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Eleanor Ok yes I have the dexterity as you put it to put my pin number in but not all shops particularly over here have facilities for wheelchairs, here disability isn't as far forward as it is in the uk but even when I lived in the UK I occasionally came across occasions when I found it difficult to get close enough to the part where the keypad was so I found it difficult to enter my own pin numbers, I don't have elastic arms. Hence I have always had chip and sign cards in the uk but as they don't do that here, I have no option than to have someone help me. No I hope the people who will be helping me don't take my money but surely even you would know that you can never be too careful in this day and age. I only give my pin number to people I trust and know, if I can't trust mum, who can you trust? I will assess the situation when I get to the uk, my bank apparently is closing branches down so it isn't so easy for me just to go into a branch but I would think under the current financial climate and with banks buying one another out, there isn't the need for so many branches. How ever that doesn't really help me. I would have to go into a branch and draw cash out. as I said, I will see how it works. I am coming to the uk for two weeks but am still going to need some cash.

If you have the dexterity to put it in yourself, then surely the shops where you make purchases can bring the machine to your level, also there are sides on it to prevent people from looking at your number. I would have hoped that these helper strangers would not be out to take your money. Failing that, wherever you are going on holiday, maybe you can have traveller's cheques or take money out from the post office as and when, though that could be very awkward as one often makes a spontaneous purchase.
