Probably one of the most exciting things for a lot of people when they turn eighteen is being able to legally buy a lot of stuff - e.g. alcohol, cigarettes and tattoos.
One of the most annoying things is waiting to do all these things until you turn eighteen and when you go to buy them they don't ask you for any I.D!
*I will never ever want to smoke, nor will I ever buy cigarettes it was just an example
This has happened to me a few times during the past week of me being eighteen.
1) On my first day of being eighteen I bought a couple of cocktails at my birthday meal and my I.D. only got checked because I forced him to check it! (It's a matter of principle).
2) On my second day of being eighteen I went to Asda to buy a large bottle of Mango Sourz. I have previously been I.D.ed in Asda when I was with an obvious adult when they were buying themselves alcoholic ginger beer, then they got refused it because I was under eighteen! They didn't I.D. me for my Mango Sourz.
3) I went out 'clubbing' for the first time on my fourth day of being eighteen. My I.D. did get checked - but only for literally a second! I doubt he even looked at it.
4) I went and did something potentially stupid (but I do love it) on my fourth day before we went out clubbing too. This something required you to be eighteen, but since I told them it was my birthday on Tuesday they didn't check my I.D. then either!
It appears as soon as you turn eighteen you gain 10 years to make you look almost thirty.
Anyway! Here's some pictures of me and my friend Poppy having drinks at The Hobbit.
