I just have to share this with someone.

I am sitting here filling in an application form for car insurance. All the usual stuff these forms need. Except this. I have just filled in the boxes with my date of birth which is January 1951.The next question asks. "When did you start living in the UK". There are two choices, tick the appropriate box. 1 - From birth or 2 - January 1951

Now which one should I tick.

Tick both and confuse them good and proper

Tick from birth. You can't get that wrong. Normally it says from birth or and gives a space. Sounds like their website is putting in your birth date by error.

That's the frustrating thing with some of these online forms. I wouldn't be able to complete it, as I haven't lived in the UK from birth, so presumably that would result in: computer says no!

What happens if you've had a spell abroad, say in the Services or just working, for a number of years? Not designed very well is it? Makes you wonder about their overall efficiency.

EDIT - Harry, did you work it out?
