Personal information in official email - best practice

I'd rather that than "Papieren, bitte".

Nailed it.

Works in France!

Do you mean your are, or you aren't required to carry your ID card (if you are French)?

Oh, c'mon. I take it you remember your front door key when going out?

It's already an offence to go out without clothes. ;-)

Don't always need to , quite a percentage of people live with somebody else who will be staying at home.

If I am taking some rubbish up to the tip my trousers may be borderline on being offensive and it is highly likely that the pockets have got to the stage where items put in will go out again unplanned, therefore I will go out without keys ,wallets both note and card sized or anything else. If carrying an ID were compulsory it would be another object to be cared for.

That's what some US states do - you can get a "driving license" even if you can't drive - it shows you have no entitlement to drive but can still be used as ID. We could quite easily introduce that here, just allow DVLA to issue license cards that show "no entitlement" against all categories.

Isn't that just an identity card by another name?

I've not really got firm views either way - but am rather suspicious of those who are dead set against them.

And that attitude is one of the reasons I'm dead set against them.

Not really susrprised. But I'd be more impressed by some firm reasons why they'd be a bad thing.

A Google search for "why ID cards are a bad idea" will give you many hundreds of reasons.

For the over-60s, bus passes can act as ID cards.

Many places, including banks, won't accept them as ID.

Some councils issue them without checking your identity. Or your age. When I lived in South Bucks I just sent them a form and my photo and they posted it back to me.

However, friend was going to be allowed to attend a "garden party" at Buckingham Palace was going to be allowed in on the strength of one, not having apassport or Driving Licence. Sadly he never made it, lung cancer got him first.

And those over 64 (born in the UK before Feb 1952) will already have Identity cards which they were required to carry with them by law up to that date. A few years ago I came across mine and used it to cause confusion at London City airport!

I'd say that they should not have sent that information by email : formal complaint to their Data Controller.

I suspect he would have had extensive background checks to assess the risk of him getting too close to Brenda with something sharp.

Hm. Highland Council require the same sort of certification as a passport.
