Hmm, information on this seems a bit hard to find. The basic idea is that these Dr Foster people use data gathered from supermarkets to find at risk areas for certain diseases, such as diabetes. When I go to the supermarket I don't give them my home address... do you? Where is this data coming from?

Loyalty cards....

People dumb enough to give personal information regarding themselves.

My phone number is frequently 86-75-309. And I have put Jenny for a name sometimes....

Oh, and I have signed "Fake ID" the last two weeks successfully on each American Express transaction with noone yet asking to see ID!

I want to see how long I can do the same.
