And like I said you know exactly what I mean, alcohol that you consume!!!!!! Or have I got to point out the blinding obvious to you!



I think you are if you go to so much effort at distorting what someone meant when know know exactly that.



I think it's been confirmed umpteen times now by Storck that I'm correct that even VOR seems to have accepted.



I think we can now cofirm you definately are!

So you don't consume Bread?
Or if you do how does it differ from consuming a meal with cook in sauce?
You posted a link which did not even back up what you said.
You made things up in my opinion.
I was being polite by saying you are talking mince, the truth is far worse.

Where?

Or is this where people quote me, add a few things I haven't said, try to put something I have said into a ridiculous context (see adouglasmhor's posts) then try claiming I'm wrong by the things they've added and twisted?



I personally wouldn't have refused to sell it. Can't see your point.

I quoted you vebatim you liar.

I'll try to put a line under this - the limit for licensing purposes seems to be 0.5%

I would have thought the alcohol content (if any) would be on the pack and that Coop have made more than one error here

Note you can be drunk in charge of a sheep on a public highway...? :eek:

Your ID may let you do all of those things, but I and I'm sure everyone else on this thread wouldn't have a clue what one of those looks like. Therefore I wouldn't take it for fear it could be fake.

Well, I got asked for ID once, and had my SIA license on me which you have to be 18+ to get; it's government issued too. I asked them to get their security guard to verify it, he did but they then said, "But you still look under 25; this doesn't prove you're over 25"...I never WAS saying I'm over 25; I was 23 at the time. I left ALL my shopping behind. I was trying to buy one bottle of wine along with a whole load of shopping which included things like risotto rice; hardly the shopping pattern of an underage drinker???

If treated in this manner, abandon your entire shopping and walk out. If everyone did this, store management would soon curb these jobsworths.

Either that, or they'll just stop stocking the alcohol.

If you are buying alcohol, take ID. Not difficult to remember.

This thread is not about ID for alcohol.

As an SIA license holder you should know what ID is acceptable, if not then there are problems with the SIA training. Even my Personal License that allows me to sell alcohol is not acceptable ID to buy alcohol. :beer:

The 25 thing is a bit complicated for a lot of people in the service industries. They need things in black and white no grey the poor lambs.

Uhm....In the OP, the poster is moaning about getting ID's for trying to buy food with alochol in. How is it not about ID for alcohol? The reason they couldn't buy it was because it had alcohol in which they needed id to buy.

Don't think OP likes shopping at the Co Op much
