Well done, and ra ra ra for the Freddie Forsyth expert. ''The Day of the Jackal'' is clearly a shorthand descriptor for the use of another person's identity to create a false ID. Of course I am aware that the database applies only to over-16s. We are in our second sitting only, but that wins the prize for the most obtuse intervention thus far. It was not a literal comparison with one of Forsyth's rather second-rate—but better than Jeffrey Archer's—novels.
