Can you get served without ID?

Whether or not you are over sixteen/eighteen, can you get served without ID In shops? I cant:P I tried to buy a lottery ticket yesterday without ID,but Sainsburys just werent having it

i brought ciggarettes before, dont have a clue now.

thats all i tried buying.

Lottery - No problem
Ciggarettes - No problem
Booze - Hell no !

I can buy ciggarettes no problem havn't tried to buy anything else lol

In pubs/clubbing in my town/shops no probs most of the time, but clubbing in the City they are really strict and I usually get ID'ed most of the time. :'(

I have bought cigarettes (not for me, I don't smoke) before, without much trouble... it might be because the person who served me knows me though :P
As for a lottery ticket, I have never tried so I don't have a clue. And alchohol? No way :'( Unless in Spain counts?

Yes. I can. being over 18 helps. ;P

Fine with Cigs and Lottery, dont try to buy booze

Cigs - No Probs
Beer - In shops no
In pubs- Yes, i can get served in this pub near me ;D

Yep - I'm always told I look older for my age anyway so it's not generally been a problem, lol.
