    Well he just filled out the electoral form to say who lives at the house and they just added it to the names already on (including old housemate). He didn't vote twice, we received a letter saying who was on the electoral role and it said both names! Thought it was quite funny, we'll be telling them soon when he gets back from working away.

    Could i have a bank account in another name i.e Fred Bloggs or would i officially have to change it by deed poll?
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    most banks will let you give them an alias which you can provide to other people for the purposes of accepting cheques etc.

    Really? how does that work??
    Wouldnt they think you were engaging in some kind of dubious practice??
