No wonder the government gets away with the stasification of this country while there are people with attitudes like that.
You could make someone show their ID number every time they bought something
What's 'stasification' ?
Gosh, I haven't got an ID number - have you? Where did you get it?

You'd be suprised how many ID No.s people have; National Health No. (which was used for identity cards during WWII). National Insurance No., Driving Licence & the list goes on.
Don.
It'll be on your compulsory ID card soon.
That makes so much sense. I believe (but could be wrong) that in Germany if you sell a car, your insurer is responsible for third party liability until such time as another company takes it over.
As you can imagine there are *very few* uninsured cars on the road as buyers simply won't sell them to someone who doesn't turn up with appropriate insurance.

You lead a *very* sheltered life if you still believe that.
Not so many years ago the guv'mint decided that they were allowed to buy spending details and transaction history from your card issuer.
I did some work for a bank for a fair while and was shocked at just how much had to be reported back to the authorities on a routine basis.
Do you honestly believe that because you don't have a "number" it doesn't matter?

So, now that you feel safe in your own house, you're dumping the girlfriend?
What a shit!
Aye, ours charges =A315 for up to three "bulky items", That does *not* include "electric appliances, cookers, garden waste, builder's rubble or= fixtures and fittings".
It's =A315 *per item* item for "all Electric Appliances like; fridges, freezers, televisions, cookers and computer monitors".
What is really gaulling is we paid our =A315 quid to have some mattress'= taken away. They went in the normal rubbish collecton truck... Next time= we'll just put the stuff out and see if it goes. I really can't see the =
council and the waste contractors being clued up enough to reliably and =
accurately communicate that this property has this bulky waste this othe= r one that etc etc.
Quite. The question was raised how does it get to the back lane if the person hasn't a car? Well I bet they have a mate with one and a pint dow= n the pub will see to that...
They're not ID numbers though, they're specific to their purpose. Sometimes they'll be accepted as ID but not universally.
Mary
I know all about 'shared' personal details - not that it matters a jot to me - but they're not the same as specific ID. If they were why would They be proposing specific ID cards?
Mary
They are unique to you and are ID numbers.
They are not proof of ID, no ID number is proof. You need some item for proof, like an ID card. An ID card that only you can get unlike an NHS number which anyone can actually apply for. You are confusing ID numbers with ID.
The last time we had some mattresses to throw away, I propped them against the wheelie-bin. The bin men took them ...
Mainly because they intend to replace the other IDs with one /you/ have to pay for.
No problem - there's sure to be a blood sample on the sharp edges at the back of the fridge.
I'm not sure I understand that. Yes I am sure - I don't understand it :-)
Just received a letter and card from the Organ Donor folk thanking me for offering my poor old bits and pieces. With my letter was another, to someone else in the city. Perhaps I could use her card as ID ...
:-)
Mary
It was about dumping fridges and cookers, remember?
Try lifting... no, on second thoughts, let's all not bother :-)
Ah - yes, clever :-)
Sorry to be so dumb, I've just broken a little toe. Not on a fridge or cooker. It hurts and it's distracting :-(
Right enough - foot up, keep all your blood, and get better soon.
Is it universally accepted that to know all three of the above from memory makes one a sad old git? I only ask...
Thanks. Blood is seeping into my foot tissues judging by the ever-spreading bruise. Doesn't hurt as much now though.
Mary.
