Somewhat shocked

Ooh, I forgot:

Yesterday when we were buying cider at Systembolaget I was asked for id. It’s been so long that the lady had to ask three times before I understood what she was after. ID? You mean I look like I’m not yet 20?

Ok, so when Linda and I, Friday evening, discussed what age I might possibly claim to be come thursday we agreed that 14 was probably as far as I should stretch. However, I didn’t actually think that it was visible as such.

Crikey. The last time someone asked me for id was at TGI Fridays in Swindon a couple of years ago, and at that point I assumed it was because I was in the company of Bethan, who they refused to believe was over 21 as she’d left her id at the hotel (Lloyd: “I’m her manager. She’s got a degree. She has to be more than 21.”), and that they just figured it was easier asking us both than differentiating.

So. That gave us something to laugh about yesterday.
