Fortunately nobody's ever asked me for a small fresh water fish so I voted never!!

I am past the age of caring. I now wish somebody would ask me if I was old enough to buy alcohol. Fact is since I was about 15 (some 45 years ago) I have never been asked for any ID. Except when I was over 16 and tried to take a girl into a cinema to see an "X" rated film. She was only 15 and was allowed in but I got thrown out. Not a lasting relationship.:rotfl:

I went to get a bottle of champagne for a colleague who was leaving to have a baby. I only had £14 on me so was really chuffed when there was a bottle on offer for £12.99. I called out to my friend to let her know, and we excitedly made our way to the till to pay.
Because I was obviously happy, the woman behind me mouthed to the cashier to ask me for ID. I'm almost 35! And I look my age! Apart from being absolutely incredulous, how many under 18 year olds try to get drunk on bottles of champagne rather than a £2 bottle of white lightening???:rotfl:

I get asked quite a bit still when buying alcohol and even fag papers!
It really annoys me as I am 36 years old!
I think its ridiculous.I may look young for my age but come on...36??

i'm 31 and still get id'd quite regularly,even for cigarettes since the age went up on them too.i always carry my passport with me.my(40 year old)sister(who doesn't get id'd:D ) seems to think it's because i've got small feet!?!i think it's because i'm short,have good skin,look young and don't really wear much,if any,make-up.i like it,though think i might feel depressed when the queries finally stop coming!

I's like to offer my opinion from a cashier's point of view. The problem is the giant personal fine, the criminal record if a person under 18 slips through the net and the instant dismissal. because of this and the "Think 21" way of thinking at the moment I ask a lot of people for ID.
I have made many people blush and many people very angry, but I figure that if people kick off because they don't have ID then it is probably because they are not old enough anyway.
On the other hand I'm 22 and don't really get ID'd in clubs and pubs and such.

I'm 23 (24 in September) and always get ID'd when buying alcohol and going into pubs and clubs.

My boyf who is 24 (25 in November) always gets ID'd, even when buying lottery tickets!!

Asda have gone bananas, they are asking everyone for ID if they think you look under 25 now..a lady in front of me who looked mid 20s couldnt even buy a dvd that was 18. I am 33 and 39 weeks pregnant and they wanted my driving licence for a bottle of wine
