Today I decided to have a pub lunch, just for a change.  So took myself off to one of those well known themed pubs in a nearby town.  Not been there before, walked in, seemed nice enough and went up to the bar to be served...

Now I am not sure whether to call this flattery or not but for the first time ever I was asked to prove my age and ID before the barperson would serve me.  I was somewhat speechless by this request, but dug out the old and slightly worn passport and handed it over.  The barperson opened it, looked at it, then went a lovely shade of beetroot, handed it back full of apologies...lol

Had a lovely chicken tikka and cider..very nice lunch..sadly not on the house, but being mistaken for being under 18 when you are 40 is better than nothing I spose...the barperson was beetrrot colour til I left..poor thing...lol

I always carry my passport with me, habit I guess.

This is first time this has happened to me...not sure who was more embarrassed really.

I remember about 4 years ago, mysel, my wife (then girlfriend) and some of her mates went into a snug in a pub. I was the youngest and mid-twenties.
Anyway, the barman sticks his head in and says "ID please!".
I looked up at him and said "are you serious?"
"Yeah - ID or youre out!"
I then said "how old do you think I am?"
his reply after a few seconds was "30"
He gingerly walked off then

Its quite a nice feeling when someone thinks you are younger than you really are...

Usually people think I am older than I am..not so good then...lol

Today might have had something to do with the fact I had redyed my hair blue/black and added a couple of bright red extensions too, perhaps...I try not to ever act or look my age..stay young for as long as possible....lol

post it anyway, you can always use Adobe Photoshop to tint your hair (and hide the wrinkles)

Remember, the camera never lies... but image manipulation is big business
