You haven't witnessed me riled at all. I find this thread totally hilarious. But I'm determined to check out these posters now. I've just got to see them for myself. No doubt if I photograph one and they turn out to be exactly as I have been saying then Jambutty will claim they have changed the posters since he was there.

Hey come on folks, fess up. Who phoned Jammy to argue with him about this?

i still think jambutty is wrong, as for the "accywebber" that rang him, he never said that, he said the torag. (see i can do it too.)

Shouldn't it be 'toe-rag' - I don't want to be pedantic but everyone else seems to be doing it and I didn't want to be left out.

Rushes off to bedroom to remove tenners from under the mattress and hides them somewhere else.

Pardon me but just exactly where did I mention posters?

I stated a notice at each checkout.

You know Gayle you are right it is spelled toe-rag according to the Dictionary of Slang and I’m not prepared to challenge it.
Noun. A contemptible or worthless person. From the cloth that was worn around one's feet as a sock, usually by vagrants. [Mid 1800s]

All these years I’ve been labouring under a misapprehension.

Ah, you are quite correct Cashy. In that case it couldn't have been an AccyWebber. We don't have any torags on here. Maybe a few toe rags though.

In which case I shall do my best to notice the notices.

I would jump to the chance to argue against Jambutty providing my argument was correct, however..I think Jambutty is correct if rather a few aspects.

I am currently at the University of Hull so can't comment on the content of the actually sign at Asda.

However, I can say that if Asda are enforcing their own 'law' then,

1) It's going to be bad for business
2) It kinda removes the sovereignty of parliament somewhat, as 18 year olds SHOULD be able to buy alcohol, though as rightly said they're not legally obliged too, although again as jambutty said this could fall under age discrimination, and in my opinion rightly should.

I think a lot of people are having a go at him, regardless of the fact that MANY of you probably haven't seen the sign. Fair enough if it is a 'challenge 21' sign, then hes wrong, i can't comment myself, but if you aint seen it then you can't really say for definite can you?

Having re-read that I have made various spelling/grammar mistakes, but please take in to account, its 12'ish, I've done two important essays and I'm having a university life

I would be surprised if she bought any booze.

Not as bad as if they lost their license. The Co-Op in Ossy almost did. They were caught out selling to under 18 year old's twice. I seam to remember a checkout operator lost her job because of it.
