All this business of taking your partners name when you get married puzzles me. is it legal? I ask because someone I know is recently married and they have joined their names together, in fact, thinkin about this, he already has a hyphonated name!! but i question whether they are able to use a "made up(pretentious even) surname on legal documents etc? does anyone know? it seems from this that if i wanted to add say "winterbourne" to a name of SMITH, could i just legally call myself WINTERBOURNE SMITH?
this is just an example and me name is not smith, but what do you think?
and how come females can revert to their maiden names or even keep using them after marriage, i can think of at least one woman who doesnt use her husbands surname, whats the deal there? and mrs becomes ms at the drop of a hat, but the porr guys are stuck with what they have!! I hope someone knows the answers to these queries and can tell us what’s legal and aint.
(and i think its time i changed my nick name its too obviously me, can i do that please? ) doug the hat

RE: DOUBLE BARRELLED
You can legally call yourself any name you want to and use it on legal documents as long as you don’t do it to evade tax or commit fraud. On the subject of name changes, I think Bridders should be renamed ‘Gotham City’ which would fit nicely with my alter ego ‘The Bat’ and my lifestyle choice to protect the city from crims by sniping them from afar. Just a thought.

The cretins of speed
How many people have been killed or seriously injured by people who think they are as important as chesilbank because they happen to be 5 minutes late for an appointment or delivery? It is the moronic mind set of drivers like that who think their rightful place on the road is ahead of the car thats in front of them that causes the bad crashes and not the people who are driving at a less stressful and gentle pace more suited to the highways and byways of west Dorset. When slurping on his next pint of testosterone chesilbank and his admirers may consider why they live in a sleepy part of rural england as perhaps they would be advised to move somewhere more racy, like Yeovil where no doubt crowds of like minded peckerheads would gather round and applaud their pointless dangerous driving. It may have slipped his notice but there are more cars on the same amount of road so you will have to drive slower (or maybe I am typing too fast for him to grasp this simple logic)
