walshie Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 What's the point of ID checking someone wearing a mask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as when they aren't wearing their mask. It's just harder because you can't see their chin. When they censor faces in the newspapers etc they cover the eyes, not the mouth so I'm not sure that ID ing someone with a mask is that much of a problem.

On the plus side, I got reduced entry into some places as an over-50 without having to provide evidence. Funny lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among the younger airmen we had a baby faced 22 year old who would not get served at the bar until he produced his RAF identity card where-upon his order was 'on the house'. From then on, all the older looking 20 year olds and younger lads stayed watching 'in the wings' until he was served and then they all trooped in and had no trouble having sussed that the barman would be too embarrassed to ask again.

I did fly off the rag a bit with him. USA, sometimes I do wonder about the education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I particularly like Morrisons Glen Stag Scotch it is a good price sold in litre bottle and is smooth to drink. My wife usually picks up a bottle when she does the food shop. She is all smiles when she comes home, because the cashier often asks for identity/age. I'm 80 and was a toy boy.

marsh man Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 We were at the other end of the scale , up until this year when the virus put a stop to any country fairs we used to go to the Sandringham game fair , when we first went we were in out late 50 and they always sold us the tickets for o a p which were a bit cheaper so no complaints , now we more than qualify for the reduced rate I would be over the moon if we got asked for ID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
