When we were stopped on the outskirts of Chester the car was registered/insured in my name but Mrs B was driving. They knew where the car was registered and that tallied with answers to questions about where we were from/too.
Mrs B and I both have Anglo surnames, albeit mine is uncommon outside a few areas of the UK and hers is downright sparse. But then most people from the Caribbean have 'Anglo' names.
Barring one of us being 'known' and on the PNC I don't see how they'd have had a clue as to ethnicity.
