Man, 87, told to show ID
A pensioner has been asked to prove his age while buying a bottle of sherry - even though he's 87.
Jack Archer was asked for ID at the checkout of his local Morrisons in York.
The checkout girl insisted that everyone buying alcohol had to prove they were aged over 18.
According to the Sun, Jack said: "I laughed but it became obvious she wasn't joking. I told her I was over 80 but she still wanted proof."
A Morrisons spokesman said: "No offence or disrespect is intended by the question. We simply wish to make sure we satisfy moral and legal obligations with regard to the sale of alcohol."
