Driving in America - a view from an Englishman.

[Bagwan]

My brother had a similar problem with a barman who was convinced that he had a fake ID because "there's no 14th month".

I was ID checked at the local bar I had been drinking at for two years , two weeks before my birthday I was to become legal , because one of my buddies joked about me finally being of legal age .

Of course , that two weeks got me back for giving him such a hard time when he and three of us had gone out to see a band , and he was the only one to be checked , and also the only one of age , luckily for us .
The girl at the door assumed we were laughing because he got checked , arguing that he hadn't been 18 for long , but it wasn't really the case .



And , finally , my wife came skipping out to the car one day , just giggling with glee , at having been ID checked at the liquor store .
She was somewhere in her forties at the time .
