Great-grandfather, 92, stopped from buying vodka ‘because he didn’t have ID’

Some might say war veteran Tony Ball looks younger than his years. But under 18? That’s pushing it.The 92-year-old was stopped from buying alcohol at his local branch of Tesco because didn’t have any ID.The great-grandfather tried to pay for two bottles of vodka but was stunned when a check-out girl asked him to prove he was over 18.Initially thinking it was a joke, Tony said: ‘I laughed, but she then said, “We’re not allowed to serve you if you’re underage”.‘By the look on her face she wasn’t joking. I said, “Do you mean it?” and she said, “Yes”. So I said, “You can tell Tesco what to do with their stuff”, and walked out.’A manager at Tesco in Feltham, west London, admitted the check-out girl had done it before ‘as a joke’.He told The Sun: ‘Our colleague was trying to be light-hearted, but we appreciate the joke wasn’t shared. We have apologised and we’re keeping Mr Ball’s bottles for him if he chooses to drop by, with our compliments.’(metro.co.uk)ANN.Az
