When you get your replacement PIN @rowlandscastle444, visit your nearest ATM and change it to something memorable. As a reminder, I incorporate mine in a false telephone number (eg the last four digits, reversed if you like a challenge!) which I keep in a contact list of real contacts!
That's a great idea. I know my memory is worsening, so I will have to write it down somewhere.
Of course, I then have to remember that I HAVE written it down, and WHERE I've written it.
When OH worked at the farm shop he had two or three regular elderly customers who used to speak their PIN numbers out loud as they entered them. He has a phenomenal memory and knows several folks' PIN numbers ... he was once able to help one of them who'd forgotten hers. Just as well he's such an honest chap

M&S secret veg code is really simple to decipher I can remember words more easily than numbers I change the numbers into words e.g. NIghtly ONnce THen TWice (9132)
I have a small piece of paper in my phone case with a shopping list on it, for example 6 eggs 2 milk 8 apples 3 beans
plus another 8 items for the pins on two other cards, and some random non-numbered items like loo roll mixed in so it looks quite like a real shopping list.
I suppose I could store the list on my phone, but chances are the battery would be flat when I needed it.

This thread was down on Page 4. Did you lot get hold of some happy pills or something?
Anyway it's been a while since my last Brexit rant. I bought something from Germany on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. Calculated the costs with VAT and postage and it was under the import fee threshold. However due to Paypal's self-imposed exchange rates it nudged it up to just over £135 without me realising. As a result I've now got to pay another 'import VAT' on top plus Parcelforce's 'handling fee'. All in that's another £30 I've had to add. I'm not sure how a postal service can justify charging a handling fee for a parcel that they've been paid to handle but I can't see any way to dispute this. If any Leavers fancy refunding me that amount it would be most appreciated I'm sure I'll be feeling the Brexit benefits to make up for it any day now...
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
