# To be a technically valid mastercard
two things would have to change about that number.

1. the first 2 digits would have to be in the range of 51-55
2. the last digit (if still using the 12 at the start) would have to be 8.

The right-most digit is a check-digit.

To work out if a card is valid you do the following:

Working from the second from the right you double every other number (so 2, 1, 0 etc). If the doubled number is 10 or higher, then you add the two digits together (1+0 = 1).

Once you have done this, you add the doubled numbers to the remaining (undoubled) numbers (including the check-digit) and the answer must end with a zero. If it doesn't, the card number isn't valid.

I'm bored at work, as you may be able to tell.

Not that this detracts from your picture at all :P

# it was very interesting
I have learned something today. If I had been aware of such details, I would most likely have attempted to make it a valid number... but then I thought it would be easier to just go for the standard sample-version charge card format, to avoid using any particular names.

# Honourable Member = Giant Purple Cock?
are you sure you haven't just used a photo of a real credit card that these crooks get issued with.

I find most politicians offensive and overpaid e.g. Mandelson - and he's not even elected!
