    "It is bureaucracy gone mad".

    Don't forget your ID.

    If everyone had a National ID card this wouldn't happen. AND there'd no more terrorism, war, famine, etc.

      It sounds as though he was being a stroppy old git.

        Just think how great it would be if they could implant the id card into our brains.

        Anyone thinking of not voting for New Liebour could be identified and re-educated before they had a chance to commit the crime.

          Stroppy? No bleedin' wonder!! He looks like Old Father Time, by all accounts, and he's asked if he's over 21? FFS!!! And, if his account is accurate, the staff were utter tit-heads.

            If, when asked if he was over 21, he had said "no, I am 20", they would have laughed!!!!!

              No I think he was right. Why should a pensioner have to prove that he is over 21 - surely there is a point where common sense comes into play? It's not like the local pikeys are going to start going out dressed as pensioners in order to get served. Why didn't the manager just take him to one side and serve him? Sounds more like the manager was just being some kind of jobsworth.

              I was behind a woman who was asked for ID. She responded with 'I'm 28'. The woman on the till, and also on her own little power trip basically told her to prove it or she wouldn't serve her. It just struck me that the woman on the till was an @rse and that she was just out to make life difficult for the shopper.
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                  That seems unlikely. They seem to have been a bunch of humour-free, twatty bumholes.

                    That was almost poetic...
