Welcome to the Sherlock's Weekly Highlights Podcast with me, Georgie Courage Cole. This week I'm joined by Charlotte Collins, Astrid Carter and our special guest, Hannah Stratford Taylor.

Hi. Welcome Hannah. Thank you. Love you to be here. Stratford Taylor, that's how I pronounce it, right?

Yes, Stratford Taylor. I'm a bit confused about your quantity of surnames, I think. Do you know what? I was Armstrong. Which is rich. Okay. I was just Hannah Armstrong and my middle name was randomly Cameron. So my email address is Hannah Cameron, you okay? So people think that was my maiden name. And my husband was Stratford Taylor. I kept Armstrong for so so long I didn't change my passport for like five years because it was such a mouthful

Stratford Taylor Stratford Taylor so I was Hannah Armstrong but I have changed it you have I am yeah there was something I was reading in the press or listening to was something just about changing names and whether women should change names yeah and I thought oh oh, it's a really interesting topic, isn't it?

Because we've done away with so many traditions and we're in the sort of feminist world, yet it's still so twisted. Would you know what? Well, it would be, but I just don't really like James the name. Oh, hello? I mean, you're talking to me, Astrid. It's okay to say that out loud. I quite like I quite like my name.

I just, I don't want to change it.

Maybe if you have an amazing surname.

What's his surname?

Maly.

Maly.

Yeah, I, yeah.

Well, my husband's surname is Jones, Hannah. Okay. And before we got married, I sort of said I would change it, but I didn't change it. My excuse was that I'd started Cherokeeux and that it was too late to change my name. I meant, technically, the site didn't go

live until after we were married, but you know, we won't get up on the detail, but I don't have anything in my husband's name, nothing. Do you not? What about when you travel with the children? Yeah, that's the only thing that I would worry about. But don't you, if you travel with the children on your own, don't you have to have some kind of

representation? Well, I've heard this, but I don't

think it's the case. I was stopped

all the time, because I was Hannah Armstrong,

it was. children on your own, don't you have to have some kind of documentation? Well, I've heard this, but I don't think it's the case.

And you have stuck in all the time because I was Hannah Armstrong and it was silly straffman

Taylor. They'd be like, do you have a birth certificate? So I had to travel with my marriage certificate and my birth certificate. So that's why I finally changed. I'm interesting. I haven't done long haul with them.

I've done the channel liners.

You don't need a passport.

No, they don't even check it.
