I beg to differ. I was not the one determined to take this thread off topic by affecting pious outrage.

If I had implied that all supermarket workers are less than bright then I could perhaps understand your indignation. However, I didn't suggest that. I merely used a euphemism to describe someone who thinks it sensible to ask a middle-aged or elderly person if they are old enough to buy alcohol.

That is my last word on the matter as I have better things to spend my time on than bandying words with people such as you, who thrive on childish arguments for arguments' sake, and are never happier than when stirring things up to relieve their own boredom.

Again, this very much sums you up!

The pub landlord at the weekend served me without asking for ID from my children.

Just because he did it doesn't mean he's right!

Edit: the fact your children were at the bar in the first place indicates he obviously doesn't follow the law.

He held the licence...

From the Licensing act:

Protection of Children and Young People

• It was made an offence by the Licensing Act 1902 for any person to be found drunk on any highway, public house, licensed premise, public place, building or inn while having charge of a child under 7.

• No intoxicating liquor may be administered to a child under five years of age except under medical supervision or in the case of sickness or other urgent cause. (Children Act 1908)

• It is an offence to allow children under sixteen onto premises unless accompanied by a person over eighteen. The offence depends upon the category of premises in question:
a. premises exclusively or primarily for the sale of alcohol
b. premises where alcohol is available, but not primary or exclusive; it is an
offence between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m.

• It is an offence to sell or supply liqueur confectionery to a child under 16.

• The individual under 18 also commits an offence if he buys or tries to buy alcohol, or is supplied with it in a club.

• It is also an offence for another to try and buy, or have alcohol supplied to him, on behalf of a child. This is so whether it is for consumption off the premises (eg. shop or supermarket), or whether it is for consumption on the premises.

• It is an offence for an individual under 18 to consume alcohol on relevant premises and for anyone who had the authority to stop him to allow him so to do. The exception where the consumption is to be on the premises, is where the child is aged between 16 and 17 and is accompanied by an adult and is having a table meal. In those circumstances, the only alcohol that they are allowed to consume is wine, beer or cider.

Your comment doesn't hold any water, for example - If someone holds a driving licence and speeds, they're not right!

You repeated that the person with the licence would know.

I'm missing where it is an offence for the landlord to serve me a pint without asking for ID from my two year old son?

Who said we were in the bar area?

Those Acts named in your quote appear to have been around a while, has one recently been passed that has resulted in the recent changes to supermarket policy?
