According to an imigration officer I know the number of returning Brits who do not make this statement on arriving at UK Immigration each day can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Of course this can only have been the case for the past 100 years as the first UK passport designed to have a photgraph added came into use on 1st February 1915. (although the requirement to have a photograph on the passport predated the facility to do so)
