The almost bare provisions cupboard in the kitchen and half empty shelves in the fridge, drove me on an involuntary trip to the local supermarket in Garforth, Tesco. Whilst at the checkout I recalled a recent item on the news about a shopper and her daughter being refused the purchase of a bottle of wine because the daughter, although she was not the purchaser, was unable to provide evidence of her age. [i.e. over 18]. This incident occurred at a branch of Morrisons, so I asked the checkout lady at Tesco what would be the outcome were I in the same position. She concurred that the advice on such situations was complex, but they would take the same approach. Had I been with my youngest daughter, who is 24 and has from time to time been asked to verify her age, even quite recently; I also would have fallen foul of this directive! Hmm!
