14 Farmer's Rest Newcastle. Asked for two pints of Brown Ale and got the response "are bottles alright", to much amusement of the blokes sat around the bar. Still got served though, they didn't give a fuck

17 in The Wearsider. Was wearing a Sixth Form uniform from Redhouse Comp. It was lunchtime and there were a few of our teachers sitting at a table across the other side of the room. One of the teachers (can't remember who now) came over and quietly said that as long as we didn't act like arseholes he wouldn't shop us to the staff. :lol:

16 years and 10 months, in the Grindon Mill. Was just before Christmas 1983, pint of Autumn Gold. Went on to the town and upstairs in The Beehive and The Borough cos we were feeling a bit cocksure of ourselves. They weren't so strict around ID and that back then, and we were big lads for our age.

They let me into the Sixth Form because of my ability to differentiate between "there" and "their" plus my ability to know not to use a capital letter after a comma and my in-depth knowledge of the use of "an" rather than "a" when preceding a word beginning with a vowel.

I'm surprised you didn't make the cut, like!

16 in the Traveller’s Rest, Claypath, Durham. I remember that as a great pub, especially the Theakston’s Old Peculier. No nonsense about ID in there, although I had been refused service in the Big Jug on my first attempt a few weeks previously.

Add 2 shots of vodka (smirnoff black 50% was the order of the day at the time) and you have a Power Shandy. Shocking!

Never tried that. Used to do depth charges where you drop in a shot of vodka and down it.

I'd probably die if I drank like that today.
