Usually telling them to fuckoff works, as they are jolted back into their slightly more real (if sad) world.</p>jonnyWed, 14 Mar 2007 07:14:22 -0000http://www.sumption.org/2007/03/10/my-how-quickly-they-grow/#comment-4200900<p>From the other side of the equation... Last time my learner drivers licence ran out, I tried to get myself a Proof of Age card which is issued by the Roads and Traffic Authority over here, the same place that provides drivers licences. When I turned up at their office, I found out that Proof of Age cards are only issued to people 25 and under. Bah. So I had to do a test for a learner drivers licence just so that I've got something official with my date of birth on it.</p><p>Kind of shocking that I'm almost 28 (can you believe it? I can't!) and I get carded pretty much everywhere I go. The stupid licence runs out again in September and I'm going to have to sit the test again (I think it'll be my 5th renewal) because I don't think I'll ever get around to actually practicing my driving to get a proper licence.</p>NiinaMon, 12 Mar 2007 07:16:14 -0000
