Normandy would never have taken place if Britain hadn't fought on by itself for 21 months.

This when you thought you knew everything about the success of Chip + Pin, but actually, on your own admission, knew nothing.

And they're ahead of the game with "checks". I wonder when transfering money by writing the amount on a handy-dandy piece of paper and taking it to the bank, will catch-on in the UK?

It would probably need rebranding, perhaps giving it a French/European flavour by changing the "ck" at the end to "que".

I saw an article the other week saying they want to get rid of all paper monetary instruments including cash.
