Ahhh the truth comes out.

You started this thread about a bloke, acting 100% legally and trying to travel with the correct legal documents was wrongly denied access to travel, and for some unknown reason, calling him an idiot 

When all you really wanted to do was rant about ID cards, all becomes clear.

He is an idiot for buying one in the first place - want to travel do what everyone else wants - use a passport.

Hear,hear. It probably will get cancelled because the only way the scheme will carry on is if Liebore win the next election.

We are already on 1000's of DB's - Tesco (with or without clubcard) Nectar cards and so on, so the goverment already knows what i buy for lunch, where i go, and when. They know my exact movements in London (Oyster) - So whats one more DB?

For starters, there is no way of proving that it is YOU who is using YOUR Oyster card, credit card, whatever.
DVLA already openly admits that in excess of 30% of it's DB holds innacurate information, how many more would you like that have also f**ked up somewhere along the line (and they will, because it is a HUMAN putting the info in).

Do we really need a huge book with stamps to take on holiday? Paper license has been updated to plastic, can't see why not passport.

The passport is no bigger than the green/pink paper license.

More importantly though, we (the public) have been told for years that the ID card was the be all and end all in order to mug us off in to buying it...and when we do the same powers that be tell us it's no good.

In reality circumstances don't change that often, things they want to know like address, job, don't change that much. You already have to tell TV people, Gas/Leccy, Council, Bank, Credit cards, whats one more to call?

A f**king lifetime when you have to constantly repeat yourself to that Mumbai based call centre who can't understand regional accents, but you probably already know that based on the way your employer works when it comes to dealing with the public

Your funny, last time i checked, Dumferline (the call centre) is in Scotland. But then again, understanding the scots can be an issue

If you think that anybody calling the bullshit 10p per minute number (funny how Sky changed after BT said 0870 calls were to be free) actually gets to talk to ANYBODY in the UK, then you are seriously misguided.

Hell, you'll be lucky to talk to someone in the UK even when threatening to leave.
Still, maybe that's why so many prefer the DM range of boxes instead

What do you know about CAMs?

I want to get some more HD channels on my Freesat box.
