Credit cards and ATM's and other United Kingdom Warning Or Danger Tips

The one and only thing that went wrong for me was losing my credit card. Luckily I had a second one.
Rule number one...don't use any free standing machines at places like bus stations, airports etc, and in my case Tourist Information Centres!
The machine was faulty and the bank really could do nothing. Free standing machines are serviced by contractors so there isn't any chance of someone opening it up for you.
So always use a machine outside a bank that is OPEN!

I often say to people I could write a small book on the different toilets, flushing systems, hand basins and drying mechanisms I used while travelling.
Each visit was fraught with frustration on how to work the above devises. Finally I figured it all out.
Sometimes flushing only required a wave of the hand. Damn thing frightened the life out of me and I nearly dropped my camera into the loo when I accidently tripped it off! Taps were even more complicated. Mostly just a push down devise. And you have to be quick as only a measured amount of water comes out at one time. This I must say is a great way to conserve water.
The prize for the best hand washing set up of all goes to the Public facilities in Henley in Arden. A cheery wave of the hand and out comes some nice soap followed shortly after by the water. After a quick rinse the whole thing turns into a blow dryer. And you don't have to move a step. Wonderful contraption. Harrods didn't even have one!
