If you’re lucky enough to look about 18, there’s a good chance you’ll be asked to provide ID at the supermarket to buy alcohol, knives or glue.

Robert Nemeti was amazed when he was asked for ID while buying a microwaveable pudding at Tesco.
Proof is in the pudding: Shopper Robert Nemeti was stunned when he was asked for ID as the dessert posed a risk to the roof of his mouth
Mr Nemeti, 24, was going through the self-service checkout when an on-screen warning announced that his purchase had to be ‘approved’.
A member of staff at the store in Southampton hurried over and asked Mr Nemeti to produce identification.

Mr Nemeti, a photographer, yesterday described the policy as ‘crazy’ health and safety.
