No doubt in due course the Government will be tempted to sell the images in the UK passport and driving licence database to companies such as Facebook for a few billion

I would have looked at ex line mgrs linked-in profile when our paths first crossed.

I imagine you both have ClientCo listed in your LinkedIn profiles...

Did you find me? Serious question as you know my real name but probably not the registered email address.

So, I send you a request and the first on the "people you my know" list is another CUKKer.

Hmmm, I have my mobile number in my profile. I'm guessing that if they allow FB access to their contacts and it finds a number it recognises then it figures I would want to be their friend.



Edit: I don't mind being associated with these people but I'd rather make that choice myself.

They don't force you to add them, they hope you will though to increase their advertising revenue (the whole reason they want you to friend, like etc etc).

Frank McAvennie showed up in my suggested friends recently (ex Scotland, Celtic, West Ham footballer).

Mentioned it online, and a few friends had seen the same.

Turns out someone we all knew had a friend who was friends with him.

I can understand the friends of friends connection but FB is listing these people before Mrs P's relatives and people who I have 10+ mutual friends with
