Don't bother!! save your fuel and go to the Off License on Willows Lane
They have one of these posters. When I asked about the 21 thingy, they said ' you have to look over 21, or we will ask for I.D '
If I had read the sign before opening my gob, it does state it on the sign lol.

Nope! There is nothing there to suggest where the comment was made.

But as usual the self-opinionated don’t read what has been written much less understand and then jump to conclusions.

Dear Mr. Butty,

Please arrange the following words into a well-known phrase or proverb: black the pot the kettle calling

A wild and totally undeserved tirade. Mind you, I suspect the reason there is no Asda store in this town is the Asda bosses took one look at the typical Darwen customer profile and decided to give it a big miss. After all, would you want some grumpy git blocking the checkout counters with rants about the law and insulting all and sundry staff and customers? No, it would'nt be worth the hassle.
You mean that there you were trying to be sarcastically clever and it backfired on you, made you look a right chump and now you are trying to wriggle out of it. Go and get some lessons from Teflon Tony. He wouldn’t have looked out of place in a tin of maggots.

Wrong again Tealeaf (isn’t that slang for something?) I am a typical BLACKBURN cantankerous old git. My residence in Darwen is accidental - when a thieving piece of **!!** watched the ambulance take me away during the early hours, went round the back of my now empty house and broke in. When my son and daughter discovered what had happened later that same day they decided that this 7th burglary was one too many and moved all my stuff to my son’s house which happened to be in Darwen.

Anything else that you want to slag me off for?

Then why dont you refer to him by his name then dear instead of 'Scottish judge'.

You are actually the most annoying person I've seen on this forum to date. You never say anything nice, its always just ranting at someone, and you're arguments for things are always so direct towards individuals on the forum that your ideas aren't even worth reading.

If you're not referring to Scottish law, you need to learn about the english law regarding advertisements, and Entwisti gave you a perfect example of the english law regarding advertisements, so why don't YOU shut up and understand what people are saying to YOU, instead of assuming they are wrong and you are right all of the time.

Seems Jambutty's a little slow off the mark (must be his age). The press release is dated April 2007. Asda Press Centre
Much obliged for your contribution.

However the law is quite clear – the age for buying booze is 18 or over and for Asda to declare that Asda will not sell booze to anyone who looks under 21, not withstanding the trading laws, is illegal.

Not slow off the mark yerself it’s just that I have been aware of the notice shortly after it came on display. But being over 21 myself it was of no concern to me.

I took notice when the other day a young man, after producing his driving license and passport, was still refused the sale of a bottle of scotch for his granddad’s birthday because he looked under 21.

Having to be 18 before you can buy cigarettes is by an act of Parliament not the dictat of some CEO of a supermarket.

All you drinkers should realise that this 21 thing is just a backdoor attempt to raise the drinking age. It is only a matter of time before Parliament passes an act to that effect. And when the objections come rolling in they will glibly state, “well that’s the way it has been unofficially for xxxxx years. We just made it official."

But I don’t care. I don’t use alcohol.

So because other people are too blind to condemn Asda I have to follow suit do I? I must have missed your election to be the dictator of the UK.

Remember the story of the king’s new clothes? Well I’m like the little boy and I don’t follow others blindly.

Just because in many cases my opinion differs to the majority I am told that I am wrong.

The problem with some correspondents on this forum is that they like to dish it out but cannot take the return. In any case respect is earned not given as a right.
