Has it ever happened to you that you are asked if if you are over 18 or 21 when you buy alcohol. In the last year it has happened to me 3 times. Once I was I was in Superquinn, when it was clearly a joke, (I think), and the the other two times was a bloke in Lidl, and a girl/woman in Aldi, both of which times I had a grey beard, cos I'm a 48 year old man. You see, when I was the age of majority, (as it's called), my age was always questioned. In pubs, in off-licences, in work. 18. But I was demanded ID when I was more than 10 years above that.
I'm 48, and at the moment I have a grey beard, cos I haven't shaved, and yet for the 3rd time this year a tiller person has asked me if I'm over 18.
What's going on? Is this a hackneyed joke? Or am I, grey bead and all, just so young looking?
