Was in the pub

[Kop]

This afternoon, bought two pints. No problem.

Went back the bar 5 minutes later to see if the Liverpool game was coming on. Not only was I told no it's not, the Rugby's gonna be on instead.

I was also then asked for ID when i tried to buy a packet of crisps, after I'd bought beer.

:confused:

[Gruffy]

Its a hard knock life

[StretfordEnd]

Bloody kids in pubs, when is something going to be done about it?

;):p

[Kop]

Only another 61 days until i'm legal, so to speak.

I am worried here that they asked you for ID for CRISPS and not ALCOHOL.

WTF?! :jester:

Yeah I suppose Scousers can be quite :dunce:

I hate the shame you feel when you get ID'd. It happens to me in 90% of places, and I'm 22.

I know someone who's also 22, and he got ID'd buying deodorant the other day. :laugh:

[I Love Wolves]

Deodorant? Bloody hell now that's gotta be a piss take?

If you keep getting Id'd your the kind of person who is going to look about 40 when they are about 50/60. It's a good thing.

[Skitters]

The pub probably got all pretentious and decided they didnt want any down market football fans in there....

Its when your in the US that blows your head off - they're required to ask for ID for anyone who looks 30 or under

Well you have to be 18 to get it.

I used to work in a supermarket and the police were always on our backs about the whole age thing and made us over cautious. I was always asking people aged 21 to 22 for ID. It covered me just in case.

If you are older enough just put up with it. And as mentioned you will benefit later in life ;)

[Kop]

Today was however, the first time i've been id'd.

Probably needed Kop's money, then he pushed it too far when asking if the footy was on, didnt he know that Egg chasing is far more important than footy :rolleyes: ;)

[DV85]

Surely if they ID you once they have already served you, then find out your under age and decide to throw you out they will get into more trouble than you because they have already served you

[I Love Wolves]

Yeah i thought that to because that happened in Weatherspoons in Wolvo to me when i was 16.

I was going to say something but 16 against a big fat bouncer i had no chance really.

[great white]

Urmmm.....still can't quite get round the having to be a certain age to buy deodorant.....

The latest fad is hardcore Lynx sniffin' on a park bench or somethin'?

Hate it when that happens
:angryfire

I got ID'd getting matches the other day and im 17 :no:

[PsychicPscouse]

Missing that Liverpool game was a blessing in disguise, Kop, and as for the crisps, well we can't be too careful these days, now can we??:p

Let the young'uns buy crisps, next thing you know they'll want bloody deodorant...:laugh:

But you were also breaking the law.
Yes the person serving would probably get into trouble... if you were stupid enough to report it to the police. In that case you would also get into trouble.
That is, of course, if the police decided to get off their arses and do something :rolleyes:

[AB2002]

All I can say is there must be some bloody smelly under-18s in the country.

[James_F]

It is a bit odd the way they do things sometimes.


In Yates last night, me and one mate had ordered food and a couple of pints, and another mate just got a pint. Anyway, we were waiting for our grub, and had been playing on the quiz machine, when a member of staff came over and asked the guy who was just drinking for some ID (he is 19 but does look a bit young).Anyway, he produced some college thing with his DOB on it, and the she looked at it a bit funny, and said she had to go and ask her boss. She then came back saying sorry they dont accept this ID, and he had to leave, but he would get a refund for his drink.

Anyway, right at this time our food also arrived, and I asked if he couldnt just sit in with us and not drink? Apparently not, so I said we were not eating our food and wanted a refund... which they did after some persuading.

What is even stranger, is that I DJ in there every Saturday night, so I know them quite well, but they wouldn't take my word that he was 19. I have also been in there with the same lads on at least twenty occasions.

:confused:

[Not_Smog]

You "DJ" in Yates? Oh dear.................

[James_F]

And your problem with that is?

[TAFKAP]

I've had similar, confusing situations. I'm sure Jo and mattledud will remember the old "over 21 nights" at the Colliseum on a Thursday night... always got in no problem. Friday and Saturday, however, same club and same bouncers on an over 18s night, and I was ID'd every time.

Fecking weird.

[Jo]

Ach, I got ID'd for bier the other day (you have to be 16) I was so embarassed - especially because I didn't understand the fecking woman when she asked me! (just stood there nodding and smiling and saying "ja" repeatedly!)

Don't remember thursdays being over-21s night! I remember when Wednesday night was the night to go out though!
Only changed to Thursdays a few years ago.

Biggin' it up in Huddersfield Wednesday nights these days! (well, not me but people in general)

...waffle waffle waffle

[mattledud]

I get annoyed with people who boo about being ID'd if they're old enough. Especially if they don't have ID. If you're old enough, what's the problem with carrying ID?

And the Coliseum is shit.

[Jo]

:clap:

Seconded!

Where was it mate?

The same thing happened to me the other week. What is happening to the place? Bloody hooray henry students who want to watch the Rugby.

[Rovergloater]

It's because Liverpool aren't a big club anymore. Any pub that has any class will only show football matches featuring clubs that "have won the Premier League", over rugby :D

It used to be the in thing when your about 13/14.

Jagielka does it before he comes on here ;)

I've moved on to airfix glue now.

Maybe in your Lancashire Rugby towns they might but this is Liverpool we're talking about. I couldn't find a match on anywhere the other week because of the Rugby and apparently it was the same the other day.

I wouldn't go to Wigan or St Helens and expect to see football over Rugby but I don't see why we should have to put up with it in Liverpool.

Why not?
I always carry ID and given that I work in a pub, I'd say I get booed at quite a lot when asking people for ID which is just plain annoying - you got it or you don't.

And Yes, the Coliseum is shite. We both know that.
I don't get you at all.

In Rotherham they turned the Rugby off and decided to watch the horse racing instead :no:

[Jagielka]

Of course, what do you think we all spend our dole money on round here?

[Bull_306]

We? you're not even old enough to claim for dole :rolleyes:

[Jagielka]

Not legally no......
