Wish I'd got chip and pin now, lost a job last night to Waterlooville because I couldn't do chip and pin. I asked him if he could draw the cash out on his credit card and do it that way? He didn't want to do it he wanted to pay on his card. £200+ lost there.

Assuming that the card wasn't nicked!
Pre approve the card before you start your journey or get the payment from the card before you set off.
Getting the card approved just means that the funds arte available on the card, it does not mean that the card is not being misused.
