I am my brother's father!

Is it an assessment fron the child tax credit agency? It could be!

Not a bad try Bob, but it is much more significant than that!

One clue. The document is not valid today.

Godfather?

Cheers

Rich

Dear Rich, You're getting cooler. Another clue. The ducument was issued by a government organisation.

ATB from George

You married your step mother after your dad's death.

Dear Bob,

My brother is only thirteen months younger than me. The document was issued when my brother was six months old, and he is credited as my off-spring!

I think this is a good riddle, but all the better for being real!

ATB from George

Your brother's father's name was either identical to yours or close enough that they made a mistake when filling out the form??


Is this passport related??

Ian

Dear Ian,

Though the error was not as you suggest it might be, the result of a similarity of name - I don't share my father's name beyond my sirname - I don't think the undoubted untruth of the situation was anything other than a compromise. It was properly stamped and cause no trouble for a number of years. It would not pass muster today though.

As for the second part, I won't spoil it yet!

Your mother got sexored about four months after you were born?

Something to do with passport/visa/immigration status/sponsor maybe?
Matt.

You are a parish priest?

Co-signed as your brothers legal guardian so he could join the army.

Nothing complicated really. My mother was at the time a Norwegian National. My brother and I are British. So we could not be added to her Passport to travel to Norway. My British Passport was issued before I was six months old, so I could go with my mother to her parents in Norway, and when my brother was born a few months later the Passport Office added my brother to my British Passport under the designation "children/enfants" of George Johnson so I can amusingly state that, on my first Passport at least, "I am my brother's Father!" Even though he is only thirteen months younger than me!

Of course that was my OTHER guess.

My first was that you are the modern incarnation of Oedipus...
