I did indeed and, whats more, I went into AIB the other day to open a new
account.   I explained at the beginning that I already had 2 accounts with
AIB and got asked "Why are you opening another one" but that wasn't so bad -
it was the look I got from the lady behind the counter.   I had a legitimate
reason for doing this but I think that if I'd gone in and said "My name's
Noel Carroll but write that down as Jean-Luc Picard because I want to
pretend I'm French so I can open an offshore account which, by the way,
exists actually to hide the proceeds of my international drug business" I'd
have gotten a better response.   Anyone notice how much bank charges amount
to these days!   Its daylight robber I tells ya!
