Aged 36 And Can't Get Served

I find it ridiculous that 50/60/70 year olds are getting carded for booze. There isnt enough plastic surgery in the world to make them look under 21

its not an inconvience for me to show my ID if I go to a bar if they do card me cause I could realalisically(sp) be under 21 for all they know
 
I have I.D. (and it is a legal I.D becuase it has the shiney offical mark in the corner) but becuase all pubs in Wycombe only take driving liscences or passports (I have neither), I can't go into any pubs but can nip round to Tescos and buy a litre of vodka, becuase they accept my I.D.

They do take the whole I.D. thing too far. My mum got asked for I.D. when buying knitting needles from a haberdashery becuase she needed to be over 18. She asked why and they explained that if she was under the age of 18 she might go and stab people.

I would but the pubs are very insistant that it HAS to be a driving liscence or passport and they won't accept anything else. That's what frustrates me as I have neither and I'm not forking out all the money when I'm not going abroad and not learning how to drive.

I now just go to the pub during the week. So much easier and no one asks for I.D.
 
I live in a town where everyone drives so we all always have ID - it's not an issue.

and I didn't know there was a drinking age in England!!!

We don't have to carry our driving license around with us here and yes, there is a drinking age limit in England, it's 5 years old.:nod:

Have you ever seen them refuse one of these other photo ID cards?

I just saw this :24: You have trouble with those under 18 going around stabbing people. I don't know too many 18 year olds that knit, frankly.......too funny.

Yes. They do it all the time and when you ask why and point out that it is proper I.D. card, they say that they can only accept driving liscences and passports. Nothing else is acceptable becuase it is too easy to forge them.
