I think you have been given only part of the story here Jean.  I took a
flight from Manchester to Southampton about 10 days ago.  What is required
is a form of ID with a photo.  The most commonly available forms are a
passport or the newer style driving licence with photo, but they are not the
only acceptable items.  The only other things I've ever had with a photo on
were student ID cards so what the alternatives are I don't know.
