passport

[sweetandsour]

No passport here either, ever since I moved over from Egypt and opened a corner shop in knightsbridge - I remain hopeful one day my application shall be successful.

Sorry laddy, I don't think that you will ever be granted UK citizenship.

Agencies asking for copies of my passport drives me wild! Hays even wanted me to take it to an office so they could see it before I went for an interview!! So after a few years of moving between agencies, copies of your passport could be in the files of dozens of companies - and it only takes one break-in .................. Given the level of competence of the average agent, there's no way I'm comfortable putting such personal information in their sticky little hands.

So I send copies with dob, passport no., etc. blanked out. Some of them argue - but they usually back down and accept it with a note that I am not prepared to give them so much personal information - data protection and all that.

I like that good idea.

As a citizen, whose parents who have had more generations going back on this land than I care to remember*, I'm subject to more checking than those who are not supposed to be here - it's a terrible state of affairs when at citizen must jump through so many hoops to prove there ID.

You could argue the earliest scooter was ...

A) Swinging from trees, scratching his a**e, eating banana's and avoiding dinosaurs or..

B) Some bloke wearing nothing but a fig leaf with a bird who had a fondeness for apples

but lets not get in to THAT debate.
