Yes it is a good idea, please let us know if it works.

Yes, it does work. Ive done it for a few years now and theyve accepted it so far. They did try to complain last year but I asked to see it written in their 'official' rule book that states they MUST see statements. 'oh no, its not law, its just our policy' was the reply I got eventually after they put me on hold for ages to check.
