Depends who it is asking for ID Tommy. Even a full birth certificate doesn't hold photographic confirmation. Hypothetically, I could borrow a mate's BC and say it was me. Without a photo, who's to say it isn't?
Agreed. I got a copy of my Dads. (think it cost £7.50 for a full one). I could now show it and say I was him. Trouble is, I don't quite look 98 years old!
