Don't you have a spreadsheet with all your data for such purposes? My hat!
Re: Are you ready for Brexit?
I have lots of data in spreadsheets. The question is how much do I need to reveal for any particular purpose. How much is “needed” is always less than what is “wanted.”
Re: Are you ready for Brexit?
Name, given name, pass number, flight numbers, hotel name, what more?
Re: Are you ready for Brexit?
Full copy of passport with personal info
Personal home address
Bank details (this is ok!)
At this point stealing my identity is trivial.
Physical taxi receipts instead of pdf. They assume I’m going to forge receipts, so seems fair that I assume they will steal my identity.

Re: Are you ready for Brexit?
The worst I had was that I had to change the word VAT to to the equivalent in a European language. Of course, it takes them 2 months to reprocess invoice.They did the flight, that’s easy because it’s paid in advance, as was the hotel. It was the rest that needed the unnecessaries.Yikes! Outsource that stuff!EU paperwork is legendary.
I spoke at a conference in Luxembourg recently. For free. They were going to reimburse my travel costs. But the paperwork was horrendous. So I wrote it off. I won’t be speaking there again!
Besides, get them to plan your flght A-Z. It's not rocket science.
I find it strange so many people see those wanting a reduction in paperwork as the baddies. All very Lewis Carroll.

You probably won't have noticed this but there's been a very big change in UK politics...reporters are now pronouncing "Farage" correctly! (Cuch, no. I said no. Down, boy.)

I didn't see it coming.
In some circles they call him "Fartage, forage, fuhrage, foddage".

If David Putnam were to make a film "Animal Farm", then Nigel could play Mr. Whymper. Who would play Messers Pilkington (Boris??) and Jones?
