Bad News if You're John Smith

Hi,
Looks like bad news if you have a "common" name:

Common Names


Mick.

My ex is called Alan Bradley.

Not sure whether anyone can remember but many years ago, on Corrie, Rita Fairclough's 'baddie' fella was also called Alan Bradley

We had some interesting 'run ins' at the bank / building society with staff refusing to deal with him until he'd shown extra ID

Good thing we're gonna drive to WDW.

My dh's name is very very very common. People think he is joking when he introduces himself.

He doesn't like to fly anyway.

hi there

A friend of mine and i were in Reddingtons Rare Records in Birmingham about 18 years or so ago. His name is Michael Bolton and up till then we had never heard of the singer and we kept hearing the bloke behind the counter saving some thing about Micheal Bolton and were were completely lost. Whats weird it was probably about another 6 months or so before he arrived on our shores and it all became clear.

And I also worked with Steve Martin last year, a VB programmer tho, sadly not the comic actor. A good bloke tho.

And me, Steve Chase, I was in the original Blob with Steve McQueen.

Steve

My colleague had problems over an air booking for clinets Dunne, the operator kept saying 'Its Dunne' and she kept saying 'I know its done but which client is it?'

Now I am dreading the immigration bit, I have a VERY common name I haven't had any problems in the past, so hopefully all should be well.

Just another example of Homeland Securities blatant scaremongering tactics-Frighten the masses and you can control them. It's a bit like the visa waiver thing.

Meanwhile we have people being pulled off flights (at other passengers requests) because of suspicious behaviour:
