Give Mum the night off.....why doesn't the flippin dad cook instead then?! The children could give him a hand and learn some skills for later in life as well

 

[Off the subject but whilst I am moaning - it drives me mad that every time I lift up a box or something a bit on the heavy side at work my boss feels the need to exclaim "ooh you're sooooo butch". NO I'm simply using my arms to pick up a box grrrrrrrrr ]

Well I'm thrilled and delighted!

 

It tells me that I'm too YOUNG to complete the form!

 

This has made my day!!!

 

I can't remember when I was last too young for anything!

 

Just going off topic slighty, but definately NOT distracting from it......

 

I went to my local Spar last week and got asked for ID when I took a bottle of wine to the till. Having not carried ID for many years now, I thought it was a joke. Apparently not. The young man refused to sell me the wine until I produced ID to prove I was over 18. The manager was called and she said to me,

 

"I'll sell you the wine on this occasion, but next time make sure you bring your ID"

 

I handed her the bottle of wine and told her I would shop elsewhere.

 

At 35 there's no way I could ever look under 18. Only in my dreams (or someone else's!)

 

I was then shocked as three people behind me in the queue, put down their baskets, let their disgust be known to the manager and walked out with me!

 

I felt like I'd started a revolution!

 

Sarah - I'm am with you and everybody else 100%. KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, Subway etc should never have been allowed to ever have opened their doors. The company ethics towards people and animals alike are just...unbelievable.

I can feel a militant revolution coming on Gina That's totally ridiculous - they'll be asking me for ID next!!!

Gina, you may find that your local spar has recently run foul of the police, by selling to an under-ager, so their head-office has issued a policy that NO alcohol can be sold without ID. It happened up here, so I make sure I always go to that shop for my booze now - there's nothing better than being ID'd at the age of 35 - makes me feel quite young again!

That's exactly what happened Shona. Someone sold alcohol to an under ager.

 

I think it's little disrespectful to the staff's use of their own descretion. I'd feel like a right wally having to ask somebody who was obviously over 18/21 - like myself, or even an OAP. It's just laughable.

 

It's sort of like a back handed compliment isn't it.

 

I must admit I almost complained to HO, but sometimes you have to pick your arguments don't you

A bit like mine dearest: and by the way, Botox injections into the tummy region are just SO hip and trendy...

but how can they be hip if they go into your tummy

[Looney]

I got sick of being ID'd so now have a few standard responses. I tend to announce very loudly "I LOVE YOU!!" to the person that asked me (makes them blush/smile or both), or I keep a very straight face and tell them I've been using the same moisturiser as Cliff Richard.....they never know how to react to that one!
