my wife was asked for id yesterday

[newhaven seagull 85]

she was buying or should i say trying to buy a diet coke at bowlplex at the marina.

she had no id on her (she is 40 not really a need for id) and was refused a diet coke!

 

[algie]

I take it you are 23 and have a wife of 40?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

why would you need id to buy a diet coke ?.

Are you sure ?

 

[maffew]

bollocks

 

[Munkfish]

that wouldnt suprise me aat the marina, as you have to be 18 to sit in that bar area.

 

[The Timekeeper]

If she's 40 and got asked for ID then I would take it as a compliment mate, either she's young looking for her age or the barman was Stevie Wonder!!

my gf got asked for ID a while back. She was 19 at the time, I think.
Bought a bottle of Shandy in Iceland supermarket and was asked to show proof of age.
We asked why, and she said because it read on the bottle "made with real beer!"

:thud:

I was once CHASTISED by a teacher when we were on some miserable outwards bounds course in Warwickshire or some god-forsaken part of the West Midlands, because I was drinking a can of TOP DECK shandy (which had something like 0.2% alcohol in it, if that). I'm over it now, but the FURY in Miss Futej's eyes as she SNATCHED the can from me and BERATED me in front of a sniggering group of classmates was something that haunted me throughout 4th Year.

While me on the other hand went on a skiing trip during the 4th year and spent most nights in the bar with the teachers.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

why would you need id to buy a diet coke ?.

you have to be 18 to sit in some bars regardless of what you're buying

somewhere where they're going to attract a large amount of 'borderline' customers is bound to be a tad stricter

still asking a 40 year old is just STUPID

I can beat that...

I went into Tesco with my Dad last week at about 11am on Saturday morning... (I'm 23 and he's 62)

My Dad was refused alcohol because I didn't have any id on me.. My 62 year old dad who was paying for a box of wine, some milk, bread and a bottle of teachers whiskey could not buy them because he may have been buying it for a minor..

The manager came over, told us it was at the cashiers discretion...

I could accept that the moron on the checkout may have thought I was 17... even though I look nearer 25 (especially when hung over and unshaven)

I argued that you wouldn't id every single child who came in with their parents... they didn't id the 12 year old infront of me... so why id me!?!?.. he tried to defend their actions by saying that they do id "a lot" of customers, even children... my Dad went absolutely apeshit and in the end we got 10 quid off the shopping...

Absolute f***ing morons...

aaah... that's better!

I had a really hard time getting served anywhere when I first turned 18 as I have never looked my age. Many many moons ago, I was queueing to get into The Goldstone and as I neared the front of the queue a policeman asked me how old I was. I told him I was 21 (true) and he told me I was in the under 16's queue (by mistake), but the only reason he stopped and asked me was because I didn't look old enough to be smoking!

I always get asked for ID. I'm 20 but have been told I look 16/17, in fact for some away games I can get in for under 16!

Although the shopkeeper was being cautious in order to stay within the laws of selling alcohol (reasonable suspicion to believe that alcohol is being bought for a minor being enough to refuse service), he does seem to be lacking in enough common sense to make him safe to be communicating with people during daylight hours.

What a fuckwit.

 

[Pigsy]

on the other side of things, I'm early thirties, but have succesfully got into away games with a pensioners ticket. Not sure if I'm happy with that or not

 

[RM-Taylor]

Now 18, but going out before never been asked

Is that the same Miss Futej at Tideway, the needlework teacher?

Good effort, especially if thats a recent pic in your myspace as you look no older than 14!
