Don't take what egg do for 'normal business practice'... Egg were the
only ones who took "for security reasons" as a reason to issue me a
chip and signature card...

On a separate note, can we please stop calling (at least on this list)
someone pretending to be you "identity theft" - nobody steals who you
are, in the sense that you no longer possess it - "identity mimicry"
is a more relevant and less sensationalistic term...
