"Can your mum buy me 1l Smirnoff Ice, Mate?"

[mumblechum]

DS left his email open last night and this is the message I saw on it when I opened our (shared) pc.

You really have got to laugh. The message is along the lines of, "Smirnoff Ice is £5 a litre, or 2 for £6. Will your delightful lmother buy me some for Saturday (they're all going to a party). I'll love you forever mate."

Obviously hell will freeze over before I buy some random teen I've never met alcohol, but I did sort of admire his cheek.

Oddly, DS has not approached me on the subject as yet.

OMG this teens / alcohol thing is just around the corner for me

my daughter's friend once texted her asking if she could call in at the pharmacy on the way to school to buy her a pregnancy test - she was 15 at the time . . . as I drive the kids to school it didn't happen as DD didn't ask me . . .

bless 'em

Wonder if I will be singled out for this role.

Seeing that dd has told her friends that I bought her the Kate Perry cd at the other end of the shop after the man at the first Tesco's counter had refused to sell it, first to her and then to me ("now that I know you will be buying it for a child under 16). But I honestly couldn't see the point in banning a nearly 14yo from spending her own money on music that is on the radio every day anyway (though I made a point of reading the lyrics aloud in the car on the way home, with great emphasis on the explicit parts ).

Oh dear, I can see what's coming. I have now been labelled cool and requests for Smirnoff will be just round the corner. Oh well, tough.

Cory I do find it odd that they refuse to sell a CD that the child could easily download off itunes

I just asked my DS, who's 16, what he'd say if he got an e-mail like that from a friend. He fell about laughing before saying he'd tell said friend where to get off.

I think he's got some common sense.

I would have refused to sell you the cd too, but only because Katy Perry is shite.

As ds hadn't mentioned anything to me about this mail, I asked him something about Sat's party and he said very casually, oh, by the way, I've told L you'll buy him some booze and he'll pay me (note the me!) back.

I just said, well I suggest you text him now and say it ain't gonna happen, and he did. God only knows what he said to this lad, but I couldn't quite believe that they thought it would be ok.

There is that, LittleWhiteWolf.

I once got propositioned by some random teen in Swansea

"Our mate will totally wank you off, if you buy us some whisky"

When I stopped laughing and stood up I kindly let them down
