Identity Cards

To be piloted in Manchester.

They couldn't get us to agree to the congestion charges, then they think we are going to give them £30 for an identity card, stupid goverment! Online it says £60...

Knowing that if it hits off in Manchester which i doubt, it will be then piloted elsewhere...like they did for smoking in pubs!!!

What do you think?

As a fellow Manc I can honestly say that £60 is a small price to pay for ........ a new pair of Inov8 X-Talons!

As for the ID card and subsequent fee, can't see people parting with hard earned cash!

What do you gain from the card?

Would we need to present them to the administrators to gain access to the forum; thereby doing away with the comfort/safety of the nom de plume (or indeed, several)?

At least you would always know who you were when you woke up in the morning

No problem with the idea of carrying an id card myself....driving license is practically that anyway....but they can get f!^*"d if they think I will fork out ANY amount to do it. £60 for it is ridiculous. :eek:

Why not chips like dogs?

ITS SO WE CAN CHECK AT THE INTER-COUNTIES CHAMPS:eek:

In the other countries I lived in having ID card is considered the most normal thing in the world. People would not imagine there are countries without id cards.
How does a person prove his/her identity without identity card?
Passport or driving licence? Many don't have them.

To prove my identity or address here I was asked 1) my mother's name, 2) my gas bill. They don't prove my identity or my address.

So, how does a person prove his/her identity without id card?
He doesn't.

After 30 odd years carrying around a Forces ID card, I felt strangely lost without it when I left. Having it was accepted by all as normal.

Will I be in the queue to pay for a civilian one - I do not think so
