A couple of months ago my railcard needed renewing and as there was a special offer on, if renewing by internet, decided to go for it. However, they required id and, surprise surprise, only accepted a full driving license or a passport, and, of course, I had neither. I was forced to ring a helpline who, I am pleased to say, sorted it out. It transpired that, as I was renewing, not purchasing a new one, I didn't need id, other than my old card. My guess is that your reader had the misfortune, whilst attempting to buy a house, to encounter a pair of right jobsworths, typical Nanny employees. Years ago, one never needed id for a lot of things you do today.

It habitually launders money from the public's pockets into the pockets of those who work for the government, including those who invent the money laundering rules.<br /><br />Isn't it time we stopped letting them do this to us?<br /><br />DPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
