I'm not really sure what the "thing" is that I'm not supposed to worry about - even ironically.

Indeed. 1,400% sounds so much more than 14 new customers in a day instead of the usual 1.

Sign the repeal petition... https://archive.is/o/GWdx5/https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903
Doubt they'll seriously listen, but, the more the merrier....

Do you have to be over 18 to sign the petition?

And if so, how do they check........

Nope, just an email verification (click the link). Nothing mentioned about age.....The irony...

Hmmm, there are some who think the voting age should be changed to 16.
In the event that happens, would it mean all these "over 18" (or other such age limits as may apply) would be varied also?
I ask as a practical question only, not to take the thread to a political position.

The UK is still a bit confused about when adulthood starts.

During my lifetime the minimum age for some things has been reduced, eg. from 21 to 16. But the age for other things has been increased.

Until 2023 you could get married and set up home with your new spouse at 16, for example, but wouldn't be able to buy knives for your kitchen until one of you was 18.

Minimum marriage age is now 18, although the age of consent is 16. So you can make babies but can't do so within wedlock? It's all a bit weird ...

Although still 16 in Scotland

Age of criminal responsibility is 10 (12 in Scotland)

Young Offender institutions are up to 21

Mopeds 16
Motorbikes 17/19/21/24 depending on power

The hub seems to be playing ball & wants you to verify yourself from the get go. 
The criss cross videos I can't remember. Think it may also have required verification. 
Criss cross nocturnal pet would allow you to play videos but everything was blurred out once you got to a point where there'd be limited attire. Thumbnails also blurred out. 
And unclean sea vessel worked perfectly fine. 

Which was as much as my research covered.

I'm guessing "criss cross" is a cryptic euphemism for "Gentlemen's Special Interest Material", and.the rest are sites I've not heard of.

The crypitic clues lost me too. Not asking for detailed explanation though.

Figured my life has been too sheltered!

 I hope "unclean sea vessel" isn't for  pedalos.
