It took them over 6 months to remove me from their database.......and 8 months for them to remove my girlfriend.

I think there is some sort of option that allows you to see who is searching for your details, but as the free membership doesn't require any ID verification, it could be anyone!

I bet they can't find me. I have moved 7 times in seven years!

If you're on the electoral register, which I believe you have to be by law, then rest assured, they will have you sooner or later. As far as I'm aware, the only people that aren't on the 192 database are the royals, celebs & probably the people who run 192

BTW I moved 4 times in five years & that was bad enough. Think I'd go mad after 7/7

There was a big legal wrangling back in the summer over the fact that Elton Johns' home address details were freely available on a website, not sure if it was 192.com though.

With regards 'celebs' not being on there, it would appear even they don't escape. Just done a search for one of my girlfriends mates who falls into that category, and her home address is freely available.

Whatever happenned to the right to privacy?

Quite scary really, and there's only four people with my name!!!

Simon

Chris L

I agree with Simon - it is a bit scary. My surname is quite unusual and I was surprised to find so many people in my area sharing the same surname after doing a search (and no, they are not relatives before anyone asks )

I'm going ex-d

Chris

Gary Foster

I couldn't find the drunk driver who did a hit and run on me (despite getting his name from the Police) so it's obviously not that good.

Gary

Was this recently? Are you ok?

Maybe he was X directory and hence you couldn't see his details.

Anyway, I hope the Police threw the book at him.

Gary Foster

Ah don't worry, it was the car that got hit not me.

Car was fixed on Friday under my insurance, but some consolation is that he is *definitely* in a whole heap of trouble, the police did not seem happy about him legging it (I swear I've never seen so many police cars zooming around trying to find someone !)

He tried the 'hip flask' defence (ie, take a drink after the accident), the police didn't seem to take this too well - I was listening to the whole thing over the police radio.

I'm just glad no-one was hurt by this idiot, can you imagine being knocked of your bike in the middle of no-where as the car that hit you dissapears into the distance .... I shudder to think.

Glad to hear that you're ok.

As far as I'm concerned the sooner they get t055ers like that off the road the better. I hope that they do prosecute him to the maximum extent of the law.

BarryK

Hmm and lots of people have their full name in their e-mail to make matters even easier.

Mr.Cookie

Yeah and some of us use icq and such like really bad vibes from things like this
