Talk about going overboard, my daughter was buying some cans in Asda on Tuesday and it took her ten minutes to convince them she was old enough. By the way she is thirty one!!!!

They can loose their license and therefore a bit fat wedge of profit if they do get caught selling to under age people. I doubt many 31 year olds look 17 so it does sound a little odd.

She should have been chuffed that they thought she looked so young - but Neil she didn't have to look as young as 17, just 20. 'If you don't look 21 you will be asked to prove you are over 18' remember.

alcohol is poisonous, when given to the wrong person

So are peanuts and dozens of other foods.

Luckily for the people of Blackburn it was not the case.

So you switched on the radio very late the other night and immediately thought of Asda being open. It depends on your definition of very late but most people wouldn’t consider 10:00pm to be very late and Asda would be shut by then.

What you have clearly established is that you are quite prepared to make a point based on a few scattered words half heard coming from the radio late at night. Much like many other contributors to this forum. But then why let reality and fact cloud the opportunity of having a dig.

If this helps.... a shopkeeper can withdraw an item from sale if it has the wrong price on it and simply refuse to sell it; it happened a lot in the music shops, folk were forever swapping price stickers about. If it's a genuine mistake you would honour it in the interests of customer service otherwise you are within your rights to withdraw it from sale.
