No, they report instead that Kent University is advising the term "first name" be used instead of "Christian name". Hasn't that been out of use since the 1990s?

Actually its a big issue internationally in data. Its also more common as society in the UK gets more diverse. Still see DBs with [Christian name] as a field.

If you deal with non primarily Christian countries they normally don't use "Christian Name". "Family name" is also an issue in a number of areas.

I recommend [FirstGiven/Middle/Last Name] with clear definitions.

They don't report that trash in The Times, I left Pontefract at 16, never to live there again.

Castleford Tiger rugby league player Westerman was filmed in an alleyway beside a Greggs store in Yorkshire performing a sex act

Hey I have standards you know, I'm not getting beaten up behind Greggs, what an earth would people think and you'll stink of one of their steak slices

Could we try Bettys? I'm partial to a Tea Loaf.

you won't get beaten up unless you sign up for the BDSM package, the things NLyUK can do with a sausage roll

It won't stop them from surfing.

An on-demand, non-hormonal male contraceptive pill may be a real possibility say scientists who have found a cell pathway, or switch, that stops sperm from being able to swim.

Just ask JRM for his outfit. They may mistake you for a funeral director though

I like wearing cumm which very few people do now so I think I can get away with the suit not being the latest fashion but definitely not out of date.

Really!

I expect magistrates see similar monstrosities on a daily basis.

I've been told that magistrates and judges see suits from Primani and other such stores on a regular basis.

Oh and if you are a witness or defendant in a jury trial you may be told how to dress.

How could a suit be out of date?
