That's the main problem in shops aswell I've had ppl that I work with refuse foreign passports because they don't recognise it, I however have a bit more common sense than most of the ppl who work in m&s.

I got one of those and went to buy booze when I was 18, the shop (Tesco) didn't accpet it I was fucking fuming, as they are £30 or something daft for those cards.

My friend has one too as he can't get a driving licence for medical reasons and a passport is £77, he's never had a problem with it though

Are you as thick as ben g?
Because I've never seen one before and would imagine that if I were 17 again that is exactly the type of thing I'd try and use to get served.

no need for that is there you prick.
i wouldn't accept a foreign id card either as there would be no way of proving whether it was real or fake (nothing to compare it to).

Having worked in the licence trade for many years and I've ran many pubs and clubs. It simply isn't worth the risk of fines and loss of licence etc. So if in any fucking doubt whatsoever turn them away.
But don't get to upset because one day you will grow up and be able to get served no problem at all because you'll look like a miserable middle aged twat like I do.
Trust me spotty little hard men carrying themselves on like the little hard-men they are gets real boring real quick.
Enjoy your youthful good looks while they last!

In your instance though Ben, the person of legal age buying but accompanied by someone younger, it wouldn't be the shop staff who were breaking the law, so no risk of prosecution. Both of the cases mentioned were staff selling directly to a minor.

I am not talking about getting ID'd or not. I always carry my UK driving licence so I never have such a problem, it's about stores turning down TWO legitimate ID's just because they were not issued in UK

You aren't risking getting fined though. You are serving someone you know to be over 18. If they happened to give it to a 13 year old as soon as they were outside it isn't your problem.
It's that lack of common sense that means I can't pick up a bottle of wine after work because some idiot 8 years younger than me asks for Id when the gf has it and I don't.

agreed, but still wasn't allowed, you would still get fined/disciplined if the police stopped the guy outside the shop door and asked him who sold him it.

if either of you 2 comedians ever worked in a supermarket/shop with an alcohol license, you'd understand.
i'm not saying i agree with it, but it's just what it is.
i personally haven't been ID'd in years so doesn't bother me in the slightest.

When I worked in a bar we only accepted UK id. Anything else, got the manager they can deal with it.
Everyone should carry is these days, its not difficult.
I do however agree its stupid about having someone younger, but it is an offence to buy alcohol for someone underage, and the bar staff can get screwed too.
The police round here sent people underage in with legal people to make sure that we Id'd all people in the group, if we didn't they reported us. Think 17/20 pubs in derby got stung, we didn't
