Judging
peoples age can be hard. I worked in Asda for a while and used to get peoples ages wrong all the time, asking 27 year olds for ID is embarrassing for me as well but if you get it wrong and let someone who is 17 but looks older buy alcohol or smokes then its a £1000 fine and the sack. Worth taking a bit of stick for.

emvee, having grey hairs and a beard don't automatically get you off needing ID. I wouldn't ID you, but under different lighting you might look different. I know a few under 21's with grey (and receeding) hair, my boyfriend had a manly beard from the age of 16 which got him mistaken for a lecturer on his first day at uni. Point being some people are very hard to judge.

If I had my way everyone would need ID even wrinkly old people just to stop the chancers moaning when they get asked for ID.
