Extremely unimpressed that a) it was a 12 certificate film and b) when I got home and opened the case the disc was absent from its case.

When I was 22 I got told at Alton Towers that I needed an adult to go on the ride with me! My niece piped up she's a grown up and a teacher! so they let me on. The same year I got asked if I was over 15 at the cinema! Now 30ish I'd love to be asked for ID

I got ID'd for wine a couple of weekends ago. It was seven pm on a Friday evening but I cannot believe she thought I was under 18. I had brought my own shopping bag with me FFS! How may 18 year olds take their own bag!

I'm nearly 33! I'd only gone to Waitrose in the car for a bottle of wine so had no ID bar my car keys and debit card!

I'm 42 (I think) and I'd pay extra to be asked if I'm old enough....

I got asked for ID in Sainos buying wine. I'm 38. The glow I felt was rather spoiled by his mate on next till turning round and hissing audibly ''yer only s'posed to check if it's not bloody obvious...''

I got asked for ID in the local shop on my hen night for trying to buy cigarettes (1 was 25 at the time BTW). I am now 39 and still remember it fondly.

lol at being asked for id for a 12 cert film ud

i get asked for id all the time but only for over 18 things. I'm 30 this month! but i don't mind. i just laugh and show my id with a 1978 birth date and they always look

Well, i've just taken the empty disc case back to Sainsbury's, to get the film. The "customer services" assistant told me, "Oh yeah - we've had a load of discs nicked this morning. They unwrapped the cellophane and everything."

Which begs the question Why haven't they removed all the non-shrink wrapped DVD's from the display OR told the checkout staff to check for cellophane, and if it doesn't have cellophane on, to see if the disc is inside!?

AAARRRGH!!

They didn't even say SORRY!

Ooh I saw your thingy on fb and assumed that a small child had been playing with it, not that it had just been swiped

Have you seen it before btw? Will I like it?

theSuburbanDryad · 02/11/2008 13:55

We saw it at the cinema - I really enjoyed it (more so than Dark Knight tbh) and I think you will too.

I am seriously considering emailing Sainbury's about their diabolical customer services and the fact that a load of empty DVD cases had a plastic security box round them (the type that need to be opened with a special magnet thingie)!
