    im 27 and get asked for id and have done for ages,its really annoying and I dont understand it as the age limit is 18.
    Ive once walked out out tescos and left a wad of shopping at the till because I got id'd for a bottle of cheap wine,I even called the manager and told her what I thought.It was'nt like I was buying tons and tons of drink....it was a family shop worth about 60 quid.
    once I got id'd at quiksave and told them I was 26 and when I told my mum later on she laughed and said but your 25!! I was like WOW I thought I was 26,it was great I just lost a whole year!!

    It's "think 21" here...but the majority of places don't ask me now. I must look old.

    the reason for think 25 in britian is because when yous have a drink yous want to fight with the world. Lager louts come to mind

    No. Too many people that look 18 that are not.

    I get asked sometimes by the checkout staff. It's a complete load of bollocks. I tell them I am 18 sometimes LOL
