Welcome to the club. I got ID'd for a pack of fags 2 or 3 years back, when the legal age to buy them was still 16. That's what you get for dressing like an emo kid. ;)
A family friend was ID'd in Asda a few weeks ago. He's 46, and has a head of grey hair. He wanted some cans of beer, and when he got to the checkout, they asked for his ID, he handed over his driving licence, and they then refused to serve him, because he was UNDER 50.
Needless to say, he was left feeling insulted and embarrassed, so he no longer shops in Asda.
I've been id'd in supermarkets three times in the past fortnight and its starting to really piss me off. I normally glare politely and go on about having grey hair and being nearly 30. I think they must be having some sort of clampdown...on the wrong bloody people!!

wasn't it Asda in the news a while ago for refusing to serve a man in his seventies becasue he didn't have ID, too?
