Bought a new fork in Homebase last week. Was asked if I was over 18 - they are not allowed to sell garden forks to under 18s as they could be used as dangerous weapons ?!?! (But only if you're under age ??)

Offered to show them my free bus pass.........

My wife is always telling me to act my age so I don't stand a chance on any of these items.

christmas crackers are classed as type 1 explosives, try sending a box to the USA for friends or family!!

You lot are whimps

sent my 12 year old to the sports shop for a new base ball bat and they sold it to him no problems.

I am off now to mug old ladies with it...........






I am joking about that last bit..... honest...the old ladies round here are too dangerous to confront.

I bought cigarettes and wine and they didn't ask my age, or to see my bus pass.  I was so offended, when I asked them why they didn't ask my age, they didn't get the joke.  Just found a pair of scissors in my shopping bag as I was going to go to the allotment to pick some spinach, but the pigeons got there first.  Man in local shop just showed me his £80 fine for dropping his cigarette on the street in Enfield town.  Watch out or next time he might get put in prison and get a criminal record, be cheaper to do a bit of burglary. Off topic again, what was the question.
