I've just spoken to Her Majesty's Inland Revenue on the telephone.  My next 
door neighbour has exactly the same name as me and has become self employed.  
It took me about five minutes to realise what was going on and explain the 
situation to a patently disbelieving officer.  I think I see clouds on the
