One hundred year old babies found in UK
And you thought Y2k bug stories were a thing of the past…
Doesn't time fly! British Millennium babies are now 100 years old after the Y2k bug struck computers at the National Office of Statistics. After all that campaigning by Action 2000 a government organisation gets hit by the bug. Poor show, chaps. Birth certificates issued by the Registry Office surprised parents with birth-dates in 1900. Hand-written documents will be issued until computer systems have been debugged. A spokesman for the government stats body told Reuters: "We have found a problem with the software which is affecting the date." Err, that'd be the Y2k bug then? ®
