Thanks Simon -- most folks had to provide these things when they opened their accounts so it should not be too big a deal.
Certainly the foreign account holders have already done it -- my guess is that this mostly affects old timers with accounts opened long ago. I'll be trundling on down with my utility bill that states "north of journey's end" as my physical address. They'll love it.

It took about 10 minutes for me to go through the process. I wasn't too thrilled about answering some of their questions though.

I used to be back of Mr Alan Foreman's house.

We used to be "just south of the barge." Glad that landmark is no longer around here.
