I detached the PIN pad from its mounting in Boots this morning, and the
assistant snatched it back. APACS advice is where possible to detach the
PIN pad and enter your PIN with it shielded by your body, or otherwise,
from any prying eyes. Quite a performance every time you want to buy
something :-(
