Good to hear we "foreigners" are more honest than the locals!
As an aside, all our credit cards have chip and pin. While travelling in the UK, we found that the ATM machines accepted our pin, whereas we always had to sign for purchases in supermarkets, shops, petrol stations etc. One local pub chain did not accept our "foreign" cards at all and we had to pay cash.
