Young 'uns in ED pubs?


Recommended Posts

I was in the Palmerston tonight and I couldn't help noticing a lot of young people in there - very young baby faced kids many of whom can't be 18. They seemed to be enjoying a pint or two. I don't get in there much but it reminded me i had noticed it before, they sit outside earlier in the evening and drift in. Maybe all their IDs were checked, perhaps it was a back from Uni kind of thing but if it was then I really am getting older coz they really were young 'uns. Anyone else notice this or is my judgement a sign of my age?

I was at Liquorice last Wednesday with a group of friends and there was a really large group of young guys came in. We couldn't really pick their age, between us reckoned anything from 17 to 22... and then realised we were probably just getting old, and the fact that we could be their parents (just, and possibly not legally ;-)) scared us!


There were loads of them out on LL too, which made me think it might have been an end of school night out.

What Brendan said.


It was only 12 years ago that I was 18, and felt I was all grown up and cool, and hung out in pubs thinking I was as hardened a drinker as anyone there... Now at 30, I look at the new 18 year olds, and think "was I ever that young"? Scary stuff!


That said, if you want to score some gear, they're probably worth talking to! :)-D

Didn't we all go to bars underage?


They probably are just back from uni if you've only just noticed them, but even if they're not, I can't begrudge teenagers a little experimentation, after all, how are you going to learn not to drink blue bols and lemonade unless you've spewed it all over the pavement when you're 14?

    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended. 
    • Well you've said i'm taking a pro cash stance too far. Perhaps not twisting- i used the wrong words but you are putting words in my mouth no? I'm not one for tech, that's for sure but how do you come to the conclusion i'm pro cash? I merely pointed out that cashless and using cards / card readers/ oyster readers/ and other terminals etc aren't risk free. If i was pro cash i wouldn't be using a card on occasions. Indeed. You can say that again. Irony and self awareness not your strong point is it? Indeed. Just as well you're not the judgemental type hey!!   What a strange and arrogant entity you are.
