Serious Question,

are some shop assistants and councils in the UK leaving common sense at home? I know there has to be age checks for people buying alcoholic drinks in most countries, the UK included, also if your licence to sell alcohol was in question because you had sold alcohol to a youngster before then I guess One Stop would be more cautious about underage drinking, but to refuse to let 67 year old Chris Page buy a £2.55 bottle of cider is just ridiculous, especially as he showed staff his free bus pass and offering them his birth certificate, as he said, ‘I don’t have a passport or a driving licence and when you get to my age you don’t really expect to be asked for either when buying alcohol, either the world’s gone mad or One Stop Shop are trying to bankrupt themselves.’ Harlow Council requires staff at the shop in Essex to ask for photo ID on all alcohol sales, said a One Stop spokesman, plant earth to Harrow Council and One Stop shops, it is time to get into the real world!
