    # UK National Insurance numbers (NINO) follow a specific format
    # To avoid generating real NINOs, the prefix and suffix letters
    # remain static using values reserved by HMRC (never to be used).
    # Example format: "QR 12 34 56 C" or "QR123456C" - only alphanumeric
    # and whitespace characters are permitted. Whitespace is for readability
    # only and is generally included as per the above examples, but a
    # few 'styles' have been included below for the sake of realism.
