Can you prove you're over 21?

bonkers!!!

had to laugh when i read this. madness.

don't go to Morrisons grandma

Well I had people of 25 years of age looking as if under the age of 18. I told them to take it as a compliment when I asek for the passport ;).

We get more and more like the US every day.

and sack the Manager for being even thicker. he should have clipped the donuts ear in front of the pensioner.

Not really the kiddie on the tills' fault, it's just a fucking stupid policy that Morrisons had (everywhere, I thought) that wasnt open to any common-sense discretion.

I always used to get asked to confirm I was over 21 in there, I know I look a lot closer to it than the gentleman in question, but its still the only place I have even had it mentioned since I was 18. And when I had a laugh about it with the person serving, they would confirm that they did indeed have to ask everybody.

Note the use of past tense above however(I haven't been asked for a few weeks) they may have finally stopped doing it.

Sadly, people will have to ask me that question now that I am of age to get a drink. It's not just for legal reasons, but people have told me that I look young to be 21.

I still get carded about once a year, I just laugh about it, though it drives the secretaries at work, who try hard to "look young", crazy when I tell them.

I have a sister who is 8 years younger than I am, people think we're twins all the time, or they will ask which one of us is older. She's in undergrad and when I visit her on campus, people think it's nice that we are dorm mates.

I got asked for ID walking into a bar in Florida with my Dad when I was about 22. No probs, just showed my passport and walked in. The doorman turned to my Dad. And do you have proof of your age, sir?

Last time I was over there I was 32 and I got knocked back for having no ID.

Knackers to 'em :finger:

I'd be thrilled to bits to be asked for ID, specially if I was in my twilight years.

Surely it's a compliment

didn't some old lady get asked if she was over 21 during the Bouremouth pre gig pissup

even with make-up on.

I was ID'd trying to enter a club in Kings Cross, Sydney........ apparently you had to be over 25 to get in and as I had no ID... I was refused entry...not bad as I was 39 at the time and as you can guess gave up carrying ID years ago. Compliment my arse, I wanted a cold VB.

I get asked for ID a lot...but I'm only 22 so carrying my passport around with me is a fact of life!
