Hi Carole I am going to the Clifden. It should be good fun.

One thing you can do is to pay all your bar bill together at the end of the week, using your card, if you wish; so you don't have to have too much cash around. Which of the hotels are you going to, by the way? I trust you'll have a really good holiday.

I am relaxed but for me this is a complete new experience as I have never had a proper independentholiday on my own, Ihave alwayshad respite which is different as I have had carers withme 24/7 but Iam going to a hotel and I have never been before so I am completely new to this. I will have to kind of fend formyself butfor the extrahours I am paying for people to take me out. I am in the hotel on my own, although it is a hotel for the blind run by vision hotels, there is a limit as to how muchthey can do for me.Regards Adrien -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of EleanorBurke Sent: 11July 2012 21:32 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Questions about chip and pin Now Adrien you are confusing me *smile*. You are sayingthat it isnot all that easy where you live re you getting to the machine but then you say you are coming to the UK forthe 2 weeks. Iam fairlycertain now that most shops in the UK will now be able to accommodate your inelastic arms and will be mostaccommodating of yourdifficulties. If in any form of doubt, I would in your situation simplyask if aManager could assist me with the payment. Yes of courseyou can trustyour Mum, as you say where would you be without her. Ithink going ona holiday, a new experience brings anxieties but try torelax a littleabout it and I am sure you will do just fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrien Collins" <adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To:<access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 8:11 PMSubject: [access-uk] Re: Questions about chip and pinHi 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 asfar forward as it is in the ukbut even whenI lived in the UK I occasionally came across occasionswhen I found itdifficult to get close enough to the part where thekeypad was so Ifound it difficult to enter my own pin numbers, I don'thave elasticarms. Hence I have always had chip and sign cards in theuk but asthey 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 thisday and age. I only give my pin number to people I trust and know, ifI can'ttrust 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 justto go into a branch but I would think underthe currentfinancial climate and with banks buying one another out, there isn't the need for so many branches. However that doesn'treally help me. Iwould 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 shopswhere you makepurchases can bringthe machine to your level, also there are sides on it to prevent people from looking at your number. I wouldhave hopedthat thesehelper 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 fromthe post office as andwhen, thoughthat could be very awkward as one often makes aspontaneous purchase.Eleanor ----- 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 topay forthingsin shops, I am in a wheelchair and normally get helpfrom mum whogoes with me but I will be with strangers, what is thebest way touse the chip and pin in shops and banks?MYBANKS cards used to be chip and sign.
