...what is the position for me and others like me, can I insist suppliers deal with me without the need for my wifes intervention/consent?  

You could possibly have phrased that better...   

If the principles of data protection and privity of contract haven't landed in your neck of the woods yet, this could be a starting point:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Married_Women's_Property_Act_1870

That's a bit radical isn't it?  Next you'll be suggesting that married women should have the right to vote

For God's sake don't let the OP know anything about that.

(Back home, the Isle of Man was the first place to give women the vote.  Has a sort of poetic irony, don't you think?  Always at the cutting edge of social progress...)

EDIT:  Only just looked at the youtube link.  Brilliant!

Every day is a school day! Thank you.

Hmmmm.  It's perhaps a tad more complicated than I implied.....

But the second para of the Wiki page on the Timeline of Women's suffrage says:  "Some women in the Isle of Man (geographically part of the British Isles but not part of the United Kingdom) gained the right to vote in 1881"
