Is this a bad time to say M&S have the option of substituting a 1L double pack of orange juice for the wine? :P

No, I knew that but I wanted the wine...

Not it's not.

This is what you said:



It's not an offence to 'give it to someone under 18', it's an offence to PURCHASE it for some under under the age of 18 in licensed premises!!

Law is about 1) location and 2) purchasing.

My apologies - when I said "give" I meant as a drink not as an unopened item, to remain that way.

I understand student cards not being accepted, but can anyone explain the provisional licence one?

No idea. you have to go through similar checks to getting a passport to get a provisional licence, signed photos etc. the only thing they check to give you a full licence is wether you can drive. but i've been told once or twice that a provisional licence is not acceptable as id. challenge it i say!

You can get a provisional licence at 17.

Not read the whole thread, but my rant is that i DONT get ID. They put up all these signs saying dont be offended if you get asked for ID, well i havent been asked for ID (23 BTW) so are they saying i look i like a old hag - at 23

I'm 17 and have a full UK driving license, your saying that can't be used as ID?

My fiance and I (both 25) were shopping in Tesco the other week. We bought a weekly shop which included a bottle of wine. The cashier asked for ID and as my partner was paying he showed his. However, she refused to serve us as I didn't have any ID to prove I was over 18. We even sent an email to Tesco who claimed that there was a law which stated that if my fiance bought the wine and gave it to me the cashier could be prosecuted - there is no such law!

If Tesco say there is - there is ! Take your trade elsewhere............

Can someone explain the logic of having to prove your age to buy a bottle of wine if you look UNDER 25 when the legal age for wine buying is 18? Who thought it up and why?
