He had a very comfortable childhood. Compare his stories to a lot of Bob Mortimer’s, which are very reflective of a working class background like my family’s

[@FN-ef4wb]

Lee destroys or breaks things! The answer should always be "no!" He was even rough with the wand and the end came off and fell. When he broke the pen AFTER saying he would not, that was not funny at all and the look on David's face and what he said was sad....! An uncomfortable silence followed.

Additionally, it's vulnerable to someone just carrying a terminal around and hitting your pocket with it.

@@RainbowSunshineRain I was thinking this too and the only way I think that it is safer is that they can't directly withdraw money without your pin and would need to just use your stolen card to make payments instead of just knowing your pin and withdrawing all your money.
