Just nipped up to vote in the local elections . Took passport for ID .
Handed over my polling card said name and address they checked my passport yep name correct .
Voted .
Walked in the door sat down and there is my polling card on the table , i had took the mrs one by accident and i never even had to wear a dress to get away with it
 
My driving license photo expired on 8th April so it's no longer valid.
Worked fine for me to vote :)
 
Many many years ago we were on holiday in Florida with the kids and whenever we came back to our hotel, a security guard asked for id before he would lift the barrier for us to drive in. I noticed that he wasn’t really checking things so we played a great game that still makes the kids laugh to this day. Instead of showing our room pass, I started holding up random items - old park tickets, discount vouchers and even a sachet of sugar. I just got a nod and up the barrier went!

He now works at the immigration department in The Home Office.
