    Well, she did eventually, but not the point!

    I went to the supermarket - with my mum may i just add. It is my boyfriends birthday today, and lastnight me and my mum were at the supermarket to get some beers in etc. I was paying for the beer seperately from all of my mums stuff, so i went in front of her in the queue. The woman at the counter wanted ID off me as i 'didn't look 18' WTF!? I'm 23 fucking years old for christ sake! Anyway, i had NO ID on me. My mum was all like 'listen, she's my daughter, i think i know when she was born' Then they got security to ask them what they think they should do in terms of serving me or not...he said no seeing as i had no ID. It was so humiliating! Everyone was staring at me like i was some criminal and a liar. In the end, she ended up serving me as i had Uni cards, and you can't go to uni until you're 18 anyway.

    Was so annoyed though. My mum even offered to buy it with her stuff - but they wouldn't let her because 'she'd be buying it for me'. Ridiculous!

    Tsk. It was all sorted in the end anyway...but what an annoyance!

    How nice this woman at the counter.

    Anyway, Lozzy...consider the whole thing a complimet: I would give my soul for a "You don't look 29, you look younger"! (And I'm 34 fucking years old). The only people who tell me "You look younger than your age" are old ladies and old gentlemen.

    It has got the stage now when they can refuse to sell Alcohol to you even if you are a proper grown up like Cad. If you have a teenager in tow they say you could be buying it for them... It's at this stage you ram their stupid, ignorant spotty face into the conveyor belt.... The last part is optional...

    I don't know what it's like in the UK, but in the US, the store owner can be sued and have their liquor license revoked for selling alcohol to a minor. They're required to check EVERYONE's ID these days--they even check mine, and I know I don't look 18 anymore! (I'm 51, Val.)

    I found out through the grapevine that all the "early intervention" programs the schools have had to deter young kids from getting on booze and drugs are practically useless--a record number of kids were arrested at the last high school dance for underage drinking and possession of drugs. If it didn't become so deadly, I'd be willing to look the other way. But then the stupid shits get in their cars and drive. Too many kids die unnecessarily in this town.

    Sorry. Rant over. Didn't mean you, Lozzy.

    Uch, Lozzy, those types of things are so unnecessary that they can just spoil your whole day. I wish you really had rammed her face into the conveyer belt.

    At least she did not laugh at you. I am 36, but look very, very young for my age and twice I have had waitresses outright laugh at me when I ordered a drink. That is annoying. Once to top it off, the waitress actually held the license up to me, held it up to the light, rubbed it, then, the coup de gras, did the math in her head and then said, "OK, you can have the vodka/orange juice." I needed 2 after her.

    Lozzy, just finshed watching Bend it like Beckham; how's soccer going?
