I heard that the security for chip and pin in the UK is garbage a while back. Make sure you keep your details safe.

Me too, I remember once trying to pay for petrol, the clerk said the sigs didn't match up and was going to call the cops I said go ahead but before you do ask yourself this do you really think I would only buy £10 worth of fuel if this isn't my card?
