This cropped up in a Facebook page I follow. I can remember not only my mum's dividend number, but those of my two best friends' mums too, as we so often went shopping together. I won't actually say what they were because I use them as passwords online sometimes.

Can you remember your mum's divi number? Or maybe it was your Gran's - or even your own!

morethan2 I also remember the army number I was 'wife of' - even though I've been 'ex-wife of' for more than thirty years now! grin

I'm another who can remember my mother's divi number. I can also remember the whole alphabet, numerically, from the days that I worked in the bank pre computerisation. But can I remember my own mobile number? Never.

You have a card now at coop we live near one and still get dividend sent as vouchers annually.

I can vaguely remember my mums divi no. Know it had lot of 7 in it!

I told my late Mum once that I could remember her divi number and she said she could too and quoted me a completely different one - it was her Mum’s! smile

Yes, I do remember my number because it was palindromic and very easy to remember. Good idea to use it for a password although it would probably need something added to make it long enough. So hard to think of something memorable for passwords isn't it!

Oh yes, I can remember it very well. I do have a lot of memory problems now sometimes , but I suppose what you learn in your formative years sticks with you...and I always was sent for the shopping at the co-op across the road. Her number was 34502 ...I will never use it as a password so I'm happy to write it here.

That's brought so many childhood memories racing back

I don’t remember that number, but I do remember my schoolfriends’ phone numbers going back to the 1940s. One of them only had three numbers after the name of the exchange, unusual even then. I liked it when the exchanges had names, some of them quite poetic.

I don't remember the number but do remember sticking the receipts on the sheet. Have I got that right ?
