They'd had problems with 14-year-olds buying alcohol and were checking everyone's ID, thankfully one of the staff knew I was over 18 and persuaded the people to serve me. It doesn't happen now - I could pass for around 22 and people usually take me more seriously.

I know what you mean Nicola.
A lot of people have this trouble in life, when a whole family goes out for a drink. Perhaps it's a birthday celebration or something and one of the family is 19 years of age, but simply looks like 15 or 16 and they order a round of drinks and the bar girl says, "I'm sorry, but we need to see some I.D first, before we serve you?", but sadly, No I.D card or anything proving age.
Many pubs that are not family pubs, sometimes don't wish to have you on their premisis.
