A Bunch of Friggin' Idiots?

You'd think the cradle of the industrial revolution could get their collective heads around something as mind-blowingly difficult as remembering a four-digit number. Apparently not.

The changeover to Chip and PIN for debit cards is apparently set to cause major chaos in the UK this Christmas. In a recent report it's been claimed, "unless people were more familiar with the new chip and PIN cards there were likely to be long queues at tills in the run up to Christmas and during the January sales."

IT'S A FOUR DIGIT NUMBER PEOPLE!

This is the same system I've ALWAYS used in Canada and I've had debit account since the late 80s. France, as well, has used this system for almost a decade. How hard is it to remember four numbers? 1234? Wow that was hard.
