Identity Cards

Could that really work in England? Aren't we full of the perpetually absent-minded? Or is that just me? I've seen those films from other countries where they say, 'Can I see your registration, Sir?' and the chap flips down his sun visor and extracts the relevant piece of paperwork. Whereas I have no idea were my driving licence is ' I have to send off for a new one each time I get three points. My passport is left in the flight bag in the porch from one year to the next so that's okay. But any other form of identification is just asking to be lost.
I do know where the Birth Certificates are though. David convinced me to put them in that little fire-proof safe he bought from the gadget magazine. The whereabouts of its key, however, is a complete blank.
And the kids just complicate things. They've both got a National Health number but I can only find one of their National Insurance numbers. Maybe that's why I only get child benefit for the one¦ I thought it was just for the eldest. I don't know! I don't know how they got the national health numbers let alone the national insurance numbers! You give birth ' you don't sleep for a year and a half ' you figure someone else is going to do the frigging paperwork¦¦¦¦..
