Maybe I'm old fashioned , but the only honest reason I know to change your name is if you are a woman and you get wed .
As you know steeljack I'm a life long Tory, and never agree with anything TB stood for whilst in front line politics, but I've seen hime speak on a number of occasions in the last few years and at 82 for the first time in his life he is saying things which to me are just common sense
