:-)  They'll need a bit more info than that to get anywhere :-)  Actually, one 
of the things I like about A & L is that phishing is harder than on many 
other banking sites.  During the login you are presented with a screen that 
contains a picture chosen by them and a phrase chosen by you.  It would be 
impossible for phishers to guess those.  Of course, if idiots ignore safety 
procedures there's not much you can do to safeguard them.
