They suggested, as did JBR, a metal card case.

Re: Contactless card query
Is that at the £1 shop?Joking apart, I went into Bramhall for a coffee with my daughter.
As we walked through the precinct she said "I'm just running into the £1 shop"
I was gobsmacked, a bloomin )1 shop in Bramhall, how dare they.
Anyway, I saw a tiny bin(about 8" tall)that would be good on my desk.
So I wandered over....£9.99......in a £1 shop. Only in Bramhall
Phew, order restored.

Incidentally, my first wife and I were there only a couple of days ago to look at Bramall Hall. That's worth a visit and, again, only a few quid!

If you think that a crook, that has your card number, expiry date and 3 digit security number can't take money out of your account then you are imo very mistaken.
Moral of the story is never let your card out of your site and always keep the details covered.

Re: Contactless card query
Thanks for all the comments folks.I went to the bank today and everything looks fine. The lady did explain about the contactless cards and she did say I do have the choice. They were wrong to not ask and take the card from me to do it.
I will keep regular checks on my account, but not online, as I don't do online banking.
I've also taken on board all the comments about scammers too - thanks for that.
At least this is the first time it has happened, very much an eye opener....so I will never let it happen again!
I will be making a complaint to the manager of the restaurant in how the girl handled it. Just a shame I couldn't get to do it today.

I would personally log into your bank account (assuming you have online banking) a few times a day to see if any odd transactions appear and if so contact the bank immediately.
Pesta, I do agree with this. Keep checking your bank account.
