Yeah we have the "if you look younger than 25 then produce your ID" thing here too when it comes to alcohol (legal age being 18 here too). I haven't been ID' in that instance for some time though. I got carded a bit when in North America last year though.
Mind you, it's nonsense really. I got ID'd the other day when I tried to buy alcohol in the supermarket and I'm 29.
Welcome to my life. I get IDed on the stupidest things - once I tried to buy a Sims 2 expansion pack, and I got IDed for it, I shit you not I've also been told my ID was fake cos I looked too young to be the age I was :-?
Once an old lady in the mall yelled at me cos she thought I was skipping school... I was 23
What on Earth would you need 25 years for to be able to buy it? Nuclear bomb?
Haha you mean the Challenge 25 sticker? It's just a thing we have here to help retailers decide whether to ask for ID for alcohol / restricted items. The legal age is 18, but if they ask everyone who looks 25 or younger the theory is that they are more likely to catch under 18s. It used to be Challenge 21, but I think they upped it.

I saw him with Queen last year, but this will be my first time seeing him sing his own material. OMG so excited The show isn't till January though, a long time to wait
Thanks for all your comments sorry if I'm not as active because I'm on holiday but I'm still conscious of letting my 36 subscribers ( ) down (please subscribe to me)
Hehe, it made me laugh. I'm totally with you on the self-scan one.
Do you ever have that problem where you have something from the bakery and it's never on the search menu for bakery? Or you have some weird looking fruit or veg and you don't actually know what it's called to look it up?
OH NO!
Do you then put something incorrect in?! :evil:
I don't think you people realise how much hassle this causes people like me!
Of course not. I ask the self-scan assistant. For some reason, the bakery in my local Tesco sells stuff that isn't on the self-scan menu. :(
idk the point, is it supposed to be like more practical or faster or whatever? because I think it just ends up slower because people are confused, machines are confusing, everything is a mess. cashiers do it so much more quickly (and they get to have a job)
