I just look young. *ping* Asda has a think 25 policy, where some places ID you however old you look (even old ladies). Why did I think you were younger?

Black Rose Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 People laugh at my ID, as it's based on my driving license which photo was taken when I was 15 (And before you ask, I got a driving license at 16 so I could drive a moped, it just happens the lovely dvla put on the provisional for car on it as well), and that photo at the time was a couple years old.

Mimixxx Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I'm exactly the same. I applied for my license when I was 16 and it was valid from my 17th birthday. I should change it really cos I look completely different and sometimes people don't believe it's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 My has to be replaced in 2012, and I'm waiting until then to replace it. Although I should really change it as where it says Place of Birth, everybody elses I have seen says either United Kingdom or Britain or the country they were born which seems logical until my says Andover. And unless Andover got upgraded to a country overnight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I've had mine stolen actually and to change the photo you had to fill out a new form and cos I couldn't be arsed I just asked them to use the same photo :P Lazy Michie :dozey: Does it? How weird. Obviously you got the DVLA newbie doing yours. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Rose Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 You can buy from 18 (drink from 16 in some cases), it's the latest scheme from the government in their misguided attempts to reduce under-age drinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darlene_Ihnfsa Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 you´re right ari- when i was at High School all my classmates met on fridays to drink like crazy... just to drink.. i never joined them and they all looked at me as if i were something bad.. i just don't find sense on drink just for drink.. is so stupid.. i only drink if there's something to celebrate and i just use to have one or two beers, not like them that try to drink like 2litres in an hour and stuff like that :sick: i really used to prefer to drink a beer at my home, a diferent one each week, i find it so much cool, that be outside getting cold, and drinking like a fool, without nothing really to celebrate, and with many risks near us. (you know some people when are drunken are violent and dangerous). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can drink alcohol when you having a meal with someone who is over 18 when your 16 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
