I hope you can help . I've got a bit of a problem with your ATM .   Of course , that's my job . Oh , dear . What's happened ?   Well , it's eaten my card ! It won't give it back !   I see ... calm down , don't worry . May I ask what were you doing when it took your card ?   Yes . I was only entering my PIN . I'm terrible at remembering it , I'm so forgetful , you see .   Mmmm ... and exactly how many times did you enter it , please ?   Maybe three times . As I said , I always forget it .   Ah ! Don't worry ; it's just a security measure . If someone uses a card and cannot get the right PIN after three attempts , the bank keeps the card in case it's stolen . Just contact the bank and we'll get it back to you .   Oh , I see . So if I call my branch they can sort everything out for me ?   Yes , they'll be happy to help . Believe me , it happens to many people .   I'd better try harder to memorise my PIN in future . Thanks .
