Something like this happened to me at an ATM in Stratford a couple of weeks ago. I was busy getting some cash out, when I heard a voice behind me say 'Excuse me, sorry to bother you...'. This immediately made me suspicious, I just covered the keypad & screen, held my hand up and said 'Bear with me'. Whoever it was just walked off.

I always take extreme care. I am also unable to multi-task, so anyone talking to me whilst I'm otherwise engaged would simply get ignored. Odd that, Mrs Rebbonk hasn't quite cottoned yet after 26 years together. She just thinks I'm pig ignorant.

Mrs Rebbonk refuses to use ATMs and will queue in the bank to use a teller much to their annoyance. A couple of times they've tried to pressure her to use ATMs, each time she's told them where to get off due to security issues.
