Hi Andy,
This 'Jan' seems a case in point, we seem to know nothing at all about her,
real name, age, date of attendance at Elliott - if she did - if she or he
did!
'jan' could be as unreal a member as 'thisisatest' !
I wonder if applications forms need a 'required info to be retained as
confidential'
so that a central file will know who all the weird names refer to.
Regards
Edmund
