Exactly, JBR - why worry if you have nothing to worry about?
Occasionally, I might go up the road a short way to post a letter without taking any ID with me. Nothing: no wallet, no cards, no paperwork, nothing (apart from the letter).
If the police stopped me and asked me what I'm up to, what do you think I'd do?
I'd explain politely that I'm going to post a letter.
If they want to know who I am, I'd tell them and tell them my home address - just down the street.
I'd even invite them to come with me to prove it (after posting my letter, preferably).
I wouldn't have my keys with me (remember, I said I'd have nothing), but when we got home Marge would identify me and could even bring out my passport, driving licence, etc, etc, etc, etc...
