Probably because they buy them in a pub.

I got mine a couple of months before my 16th birthday.

It's one of those "Rites of Passage"..
Don't rush these things dude

I got mine before my 16th birthday - two months before. I just applied for one.

I can sell you one

Until you are 16 you are only allowed to do something like a paper round.
Anything else is illegal. You don't need an NI number to do a paper round.

Don't thinks thats entirely true Yorkie unless the law has changed

I got mine when i was 15, it should come to u bout 2-3 months b4 your 16th, well mine did anyway.

You usually get in 2-3 months before your 16th birthday. I thought it would allow me to buy cigs, but newsagents cottoned on. I had to wait 2 months until I could legally kill myself

Its accurate enough, the only work allowed for under 16's is extremely, extremely limited - either in hours or in what you do.

 

[brighton2win]

those of you who have said you applied for one - how?

p.s i did a paper round wen i was 13 and am not inclined to going back to those mornings of getting up @ 6.00am then falling asleep wen i get home from skl

I new people who worked at weekends in a ice cream booth at bluebell railway(with pay slips)

Over here you phone up the social welfare and ask for one, its probably quite similar - who issues them? Department of Work and Pensions or somebody else?

Half true Yorkie, but there are waviers on this.
Children are restricted by the number of hours they can work, but not by how much they can be paid so can be big earners - the usual place for this is in child actors - the lad who plays Harry Potter has been paid a kings ransome for his efforts - and HMRC will want their cut !!!

Take a look at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/nic/ynino.htm#4 for more info

You might be able to get an emergency one. They are simply 'TN dd mm yy (d.o.b) M' (F if you're a woman).

 

[desprateseagull]

shouldn;t you still be at school, at age 15?

afaik, youngsters can only do very limited hours (paper rounds etc), probably on a cash only basis.

 

[brighton2win]

You must be over 16 years old and resident in Great Britain
