Well just in random conversation with Eldest Spawn (her new full title is Eldest Spawn, Mother of Spud (so named after his Mum's love for potatoes during her pregnancy) ) she asked what Mixed British means. I explain and a look of confusion comes across her face. She asks how it works, I explain again. She looks very very confused and finally asks how Spud could be classed as Mixed British? He can't i say, so why is it all over his notes, sticks and paperwork from the hospital then she says. Oh, and who's (possibly Asian blokes name) and what's that doing on there? Erm show me I say. They've only changed Spud's Dad and race on all of his paperwork, stickers notes etc including the paperwork they need to give the registrar to register Spud. Somewhere out there there could be a poor girl trying to explain to her chap who this other bloke is that is the named Father on her paperwork. She has her MW coming today, hopefully she can help sort this mess out.
That sounds terrible.
Is this documented on the discharge papers as well? If not it may not matter for registering the birth, obviously it does from a personal perspective though!!
From a very distant memory I only took the hospital discharge papers, our birth certificates, wedding certificate and proof of address but things may have changed as it was more than 30 years ago.
