Fair point -

I was however thinking of stuff like:

Part P
Part L
DBS/CBR checks even if you are just a parent helper at a school under
more or less constant supervision
Having to send gawd knows how many documents off to join a new
bank/credit card/etc
Having to "prove my identity" to my own solicitor on a regular basis.

Internet spying.
