Re: Chip + PIN in the US! I used it!
Yeh, my irony meter was off the dial on those two posts...
Meanwhile, back on subject, here's an interesting statistic. 65% of UK counterfeit credit card fraud originates in the US:
"The big problem with the US not adopting EMV is that foreign banks hate it. Since the US is the only major economy to not use EMV, it's the major source of skimming fraud for non-US issued cards. For example, 65% of counterfeit fraud on UK issued cards originates across the pond. If I were a British bank, I'd be lobbying for Royal Navy gunboats to take care of the yanks."

Odd that you'd want to post on a British expat forum then.

The difference between Normandy and Dunkirk is about 200 miles IIRC.

The op seems to me a lot of fuss about nothing in particular.
Personally I don't give a sh**.
