    I don't have a middle name, yet BT and the Co-op bank seem intent on giving me one.

    Update:

    Called into my local branch and it turns out the reason my my middle name is down as Harrie and not Harries is because their system can only handle names of a certain length.

    It appear my name is to long for their system???

    On the bright side their is a not saying what my full name actually is!

    So if you bank with barclays it would appear your full name better not exceed more than 24 letters or you could end up with a silly name.

    Ha ha ha. As a computer programmer I find this hilarious. I bet they just picked a number out of the hat when designing that system.

    I shall inform my friend Jiminy Jimbob Abdul Maximillian Billy-Bob that he should find another bank.
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.
