I found this story today about how a Tesco One Stop store has twice refused a 70 year old woman from buying wine unless she proves ID.

I started to think along the usual lines of the coming National ID which the government are attempting to foist on us, but then I realised that actually this is a simple, honest and sincere attempt to cut down the amount of underage drinkers who dress in disguise as old folk and attempt to purchase alcohol.

So, well done Tesco! May I suggest also that sellers of false beards and moustaches, wigs, make-up, joke warts, pimples, noses and ears etc also request ID before purchase.
