P.S. I'm in my forties but still get asked if I'm over 21"
Just get a passport
Personally, though the ID cards are a good idea, I think our taxes could be spent elsewhere. Though it is inevitable that we get them, so look forward to getting your proof of ID and buy as much alcohol and horror movies as you want.
I'm sure it'll be funny watching House of 1000 corpses after several pints of alcohol, it's amazing what you find funny when you're drunk or tired.
As for getting asked, you must have some sort of anti-ageing secret, what is it? Whatever it is I think you could sell it and earn gazillions. But at the age of 40.

When we went into Cineworld to watch Hot Fuzz my sister got asked if she was over 15...she's 24. But really they do need to make sure that the person is definitely the right age, hence they aim for higher ages than are allowed to pass as most young people should have ID available (Proof of age card, though apparently bars tend not to like them) though if Proof of age card are not accepted I got my passport and connexions student card, but not everybody is student or a passport holder, so then that's a problem.
Also, when I wanted to buy Doom 3 I needed ID and I didn't have it (just as well, I was underaged anyway) but all I needed to do, as my sister was nearby, was to say to her, 'can you pay for me' and then they can do it as she was old enough, so the system is quite awkward there, as they're not allowed to sell to an underaged person, but not refuse someone who is buying for an underaged person, hence when I was working I couldn't sell a James Bond movie to a kid under 12, but was able to sell it to his mother.
