@MikeDunnAuthor I evaded the whole lot by accident due to a Council strike, LB Greenwich didn't process my form showing I'd moved out of Reading!
Was fine until I got nicked for minor drug possession in London in 1994 - Metpol had 0 record of me existing, and sent Thames Valley Police to my family home at 06:00 to do a citizenship check (as I am brown), which was awkward with my parents (as they knew I had got in trouble and that wouldn't normally have happened as I was over 18 by then)
