Remember to take your age id when yo buy some mince pies this year.

Student Merryn Walker was asked for her proof of age at the Donnington ASDAsupermarket branch in Telford when trying the mince pies.
The 21-year-old did not have any formal ID at hand, and as the luxury all-butter mince pies contained a small amount of port and brandy, she was turned away.
Ms Walker described the move as 'crazy'.
