Getting A Good E-Mail Address

If your name is rather a common one, with a surname like Smith or Jones say and a first name of perhaps James or Susan, you will have difficulty getting a good e-mail address.

My name is not unusual, but by putting the last three characters of my post code after my name, I was able to get a Gmail address without trouble.

As the Post code of 10, Downing Street ends in 2AA, I suspect DavidCameron2AA would be available to the Prime Minister, who is probably not the only David Cameron in the world.
