Not anymore, you have to be in some sort of education or training until you are 18.
No you dont.

Then what will they accept? ?Marstons pubs don't accept passports as proofof age..
No you dont.
Flamingo, would a good clear photocopy be acceptable?
Then what will they accept? ?
I think they're thinking of bringing that in.
dont get me started on this 'prood of age' and 'think 25' stuff though. If it was any other situation people would be up in arms about it. Imagine if we asked all black people for 'proof of citizenship' nobody would tolerate it (apart from mr griffin) It goes against out concept of innocent until proven guilty as we are presuming people are breaking the law unless they prove otherwise

They are phasing it in from 2013 to 2015.
It doesn't mean that 16-18 year olds can't work full time, but they must also be in training towards some qualification (unless they have got suitable qualifications already).
It's not possible to correctly judge ages all of the time - which is why they ask for ids just to make sure.they're going to operate such a system they need to train there staff on judging ages on sight!
As far as I can see it is been confirmed, the law has been passed, and it will happen by 2013/2015.It is all still a provisional thing, nothing confirmed, Posts made by SWT_USER implies that it is already in place

In the US, I have seen places where everybody is asked for id - even if they are obviously 40+.

Wow, how can they deny a perfectly valid national / international proof of age

There is a clear distinction between the unlawful sale of alcohol to a person under age, and the sale of a reduced rate Rail ticket to a person over the age threshold.It goes against out concept of innocent until proven guilty as we are presuming people are breaking the law unless they prove otherwise
Selling alcohol to an under 18 is an Offence. Not buying it.146. (1) A person commits an offence if he sells alcohol to an individual aged under 18.
-and-
(7) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.
Correct. Though in the case of pubs, their existence is predicated on the sale of alcohol, so they are likely to be choosing to sell it, if they can, and within the Law.Businesses are not (with a few exceptions) obliged to sell anything to anyone.

I'm sure there is some consumer law that doesn't allow a business to sell you something at a different price to the advertised one unless it is a clear mistake in pricing. For example, a laptop that should be priced as £399 being advertised at £349 should be sold at £349 or not sold at all as £349 for a laptop is a believable price. However, if the error was showing the price at £3.99 then the seller could say that the price should be £399.
A price is an invitation to tender
Do you perhaps mean "invititation to treat"? IANAL.
Urban myth. The Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 covers this kind of thing. The penalties for a trader advertising goods at a misleading price that "causes or is likely to cause the average consumer to take a transactional decision he would not have taken otherwise" are the usual ones of a fine or imprisonment. There is no requirement for them to honour the price, however realistic it may appear.I'm sure there is some consumer law that doesn't allow a business to sell you something at a different price to the advertised one unless it is a clear mistake in pricing.

It is the Licence holder who would be committing the offence, there is NOT a corresponding offence that is committed by the young person.
An individual aged under 18 commits an offence if(a)he buys or attempts to buy alcohol....
There was a topic?Now I'll stop stealing DaveNewcastle's thunder, and stop going off-topic
Now taking the restaurant example further, if a steak was priced as £1 in error on the menu when it should have been £30, then the restaurant might be able to argue that the contract is void for mistake, and given that this would be discovered after the steak has been eaten, rescission would not be possible, so they might recover a quantum meruit (reasonable value) for the food eaten. Possibly.
You are quite correct!Section 149?
This is an offence attracting a lower fine, not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale149 Purchase of alcohol by or on behalf of children
(1) An individual aged under 18 commits an offence if-
(a) he buys or attempts to buy alcohol,
. . .
I guess you're thinking of E&OE or their full expansion to 'Errors and Omissions Excepted'If the menu has the letters E, O&E printed i believe this covers that contractually.
