Here in the States, we have the "chip" on the card too, and a lot of times it does not work. However, you can't swipe the card until the card reader tells you too. Now that is aaargh! moment.

Here in the UK we also have the chip (or should that be 'crisp'?) on the card. It allows you to buy things up to £30.00 in value just by holding the card near the reader. The time lag is usually very short, so quite a good system.

Well, we are obviously doing it wrong.

That works well until you use your card to scrape the ice off your windscreen - I haven't had contactless for a while now

I tried scraping the ice off my windscreen with my local store loyalty card - But I only got 20% off!

Get one of these: ICEPLANE Twin Bladed Car Ice Scraper: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike[^] - I've been using one for about two years, and they are excellent. Not only do you not break the card, but they sheer off the ice at a good rate, better than any other scraper I've tried. Only drawback is that you need good gloves or the scrapped off ice will freeze your fingers solid...

No, no no. Everyone knows you should pour boiling water onto your windscreen when it's frozen.

Don't laugh, when I was a kid driving to the Oz snowfields (I lived in Sydney where it never snows and barely gets cold) the windscreen started to fog up so I hit the windscreen washer - instant whiteout as the liquid froze onto the windscreen at 120km per hour. Scared the crap out of me!

I have done that at low speed (<30 mph), but never on a fast road. I was also riding my motorbike one cold night with the visor open, and as soon as I closed it my glasses fogged up. Now that was scary.
