So I went to halfords today to attempt to purchase some air intake cleaner, so picked up a can of Air intake and Carburettor cleaner, take it to the counter, now bear in mind I'm a 17 year old with a full bike license and dressed in head to toe motorcycle gear, I'd of thought it would be pretty obvious I would be using this on my bike...which was parked outside. So the halfords "qualified technician"

I'm 27 and still get ID'd for drink. I feel your pain. Or rather, I felt your pain... 10 years ago. You have a lot more pain to endure. Get used to it
btw, stay away from costcutters |

I've just turned 43 and because I'm young looking I still get id'd buying alcohol, being young looking sucks.
The stupid thing is you can legally buy much worse stuff at 16... |
