richy32 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Whats the kick with rejecting perfectly valid ID in town? One week they accept my Citizen card but then the next they dont :S Surly there is somethign against this? I have paid 20 quid for my ID and its being rejected!

Gabriella Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Is it the same place? A Citizen card isn't valid ID for most places - certainly where I'd work we'd only accept a passport or driving licence. Any student/citizen/proof of age card wouldn't make it past our front door let alone to the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesogt Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Too many fakes around, and the police use decoy kids to catch licencees out so not worth the bother for sake of few drinks. I suggest getting a provisional licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmills Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 That said, the owner of the J.D.Wetherspoon chain and his daughter were recently turned away from one of his premises as they didn't have and I.D.. He's 50+ and his daughter's mid 20's...some places are just outrageous, not saying they shouldn't be careful, they should, of course, especially as the police are increasingly seeking to prosecute errant licensees but that is a touch ridiculous. That wasn't Sheffield but I've been out with people who are clearly over 18 and they've been refused service, sometime you get the impression door staff/bar staff relish it?

Its a judgement call as to ID people. I would see it as a compliment if I got ID'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave650 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 They should make genuine seeming people sign a disclaimer saying that they aren't doing anything for the police and if they did turn out to be under 18 they'll pay the fine or something...

mrsmills Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 For all the ID'ing in town does it make it any nicer place to go out, not really. ID'ing a 50 odd year old man is ludicrous, maybe not his daughter but him?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
