    I've been wondering this. How is the cashier suppose to know that the child/wife/husband or partner really is that. I'm sure the law doesn't allow you just to take someones word for it.

    Still notice we haven't got a town name yet for this town where absolutely
    everyone knows each other. I'm beginning to think it might be called Dibley.


    PMSL ur so funny :rolleyes:

    :rotfl: Why do you need the town anyway lol? Is there different laws for each town or something

    As I said I'm curious of it's population and the claim that everyone knows everyone.

    Maybe you find it funny but I think it's more a case of an overactive idealistic imagination that everyone really does know each other.

    I live in very small village (about 2000 people) and have lived here for 26 years and I doubt I know 10% of the population.
    My nearest town Neath, is a small market town with a Tesco Metro store where I used to work, and believe me, I couldn't remember most of the customers and I certainly wouldn't serve anyone I suspected was under age.

    GET OVER IT OP, it's done and dusted.

    BTW Tim, have you worked out my address now you now what town I live in? ;) :rotfl:

    Exactly and I know thats the case here. The op is just saying it to try and back themselves up.

    I was taking into account there is no way I could do it sober so would probably knock on some of the doors 2 or 3 times;)
