More or less. It was a seventeen year old check out girl.
She had to get her supervisor over to put my beer through. He then carded me. I made some comment about being carded at 31 being a record.

She did the whole "You're 31? OK I'd never have guessed that" business and her clumsy attempts at flirting stopped *immediately*. I found it all rather funny.

And then I went home and made JAM.

Not quite a record, but close
I have a friend of 31 who still gets carded for alcamahol (not helped by the fact she dresses like a 12-year-old boy) and I think I remember Blousie saying they did it to her and she had to show then her grey bits to prove the point.

Girls can sometimes look like boys, I guess.
But I'm 6'2", broad, and had four days worth of stubble on the go.

In fact, I should have been carding the supervisor. He couldn't have been more than 23.

Retaliatory carding. It could catch on.

I didn't say she looked like a boy
(especially as I dated her once) but she does dress a bit gangster at times which tends to make her look younger. I think the rule is now Challenge 25, and I think for the average teenage checkout numpty we all just look old, so they card you if in any doubt. not that it ever happens to me mind, but I just oooze maturity /straightface

Fuck you Welshy
/AC she was/is only 5 years younger than me, perfectly acceptable, and she was/is anything but boy like where it counts.

plagerised from the court documents?

No.
and if you want to call me a pedo, the 19 year-old I got up the duff and married when 27 or the 16 year-old I fucked while 21 are better ammunition.

Although in my defence I was the 19 year-old's second husband and the 16 year-old.... well I wasn't getting any and she offered, what would you do?

...and now I feel like a prude for
not answering the message on a dating site from a 21 year old.

I wouldn't if I were you.
These days my cut off would be 25 as I don't think they are properly adult before that age (from bitter experience) and actually I'd not be looking lower than 30 (or higher than 40 with rare exceptions). What falls in your lap may be a different mater, but I think I'd remain firm on the no-under-25s limit.

That sounds perverse in the all the best ways.

My brother and I were ID'd in Chicago despite having a combined age of 73.

World's gone mad, Monty.
How are the 17 year olds going to manage?
( Kroney, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 10:23, Reply)

I intend to shag some sense into them. The female ones, mainly.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 10:25, Reply)

I can recommend the Waitrose in Godalming, then.
She was a little cracker. Unfortunately, I am hamstrung by standards of behaviour.

Edit: "mainly"
( Kroney, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 10:27, Reply)

I always get IDd in the US.
I think it's pretty much standard practice. But that's pretty extreme.

This was in a college bar - they are petrified of being busted for serving 'minors'.

That's hilarious.
I'm well old now, I thought I'd left all this carding business behind in my early twenties. Then they only go and change the law, don't they?

Twats.
