Not an issue in this case, but then I'm no axe murderer or con artist :lol: but one thing that's worth noting is that when you send out any letters or parcels, either use a new envelope or bag, or make sure your address details are completely removed from the envelope before you send it :oops: :D

I assume that's a dig at me :)

Knowing someone's name and address isn't enough info to steal someone's identity surely?! I could get limitless name/address from 192.com for free anyway.

Or am I missing something?

Not really a dig, honest :lol:
But with name, address and postcode you would be surprised at how much more info I could find on the internet. Easily enough to get credit with some firms. Quite scary really.
