  • I got age-checked

    I bought a paint scraper from Wilko today and was asked to prove my age

    Even the kids in my class start guessing at 28 !

    It's not flattering actually, it's ruddy irritating because I don't carry anything with my age on (you don't need a license to ride a bike ... yet).

    Inconvenient, but once that is dealt with, definitely has a funny side!

      Surely it was a bit of a boost?! Did you get the scraper or did they refuse to sell it to you as you couldn't prove your age?

        What age do you have to be to buy a paint scraper then?

            I think it's 18 because it has a sharp blade, so comes under the knife laws.

            Amusing/flattering if you have the proof they want, but I can see how annoying it would be if you didn't have anything!

            Perhaps the sales assistant had broken their glasses that morning...

              Older than two_sheds looks, anyway.

              A while back I noticed that the checkout boys & girls started to ring for supervisor when I was buying a bottle of wine in the supermarket. I was flattered until I realised it was because they were under 18, and not because I looked under 21.

                When the supermarket scanner beeps when I buy a bottle of gin I always ask if they want me to prove my age!
                (They could cut off me head and count the rings!)

                    They never want to see it! It's just to remind them to ask if they think I'm 'on the cusp' so to speak! I did once say to a young man 'Do me a favour and ask me if I'm old enough!' Bless him, he did!
