Not me, I've had my personal backup from before I left the UK to live somewhere more sane, and that's way more than 2 years.

Don't worry. I have it on good authority that if someone gets hold of the string of ones and zeroes representing your retina scan and copies it, the government will issue you with a new pair of eyes.

Is this news - to us anyway? Isn't personal data of this kind very likely to be splattered all over the globe, on all sorts of media - hard drives, flash drives, CDROMS, you name it? Anyone care to admit to it? I didn't think so Credit cards numbers is a biggie though, and granted perhaps NI numbers too.
