Shop staff refuse to sell whisky to great-grandmother, 92, because she couldn't prove she was over 18

A great-grandmother blasted shop staff today after they refused to sell her alcohol at the age of 92, because she had no ID to prove she was over 18 as she couldnt prove herself that she is above 18 years old.her name is Diane Taylor
she was stunned to be asked for proof of age when she asked for a bottle of whisky from her local One Stop Shop in Harlow, Essex as she couldnot provide her driving license as well as passport.hence she was refused to sell her alcohol.
the great-grandmother-of-three produced her over-60s bus pass,   an OAP card and even her pacemaker certificate, but was still turned away because she could not provide a passport or driving license
She said: "I asked the girl behind the counter to repeat herself three times, I just couldn't believe what I was hearing, I thought it was a joke.

she said "I can understand shops being strict with all the youngsters buying booze but surely there's a difference between a 92-year-old and someone of 18.

"I ended up storming out in indignation.  It is just ridiculous to ask someone of my age to prove they are an adult, I find it offensive.

she said "I have never been asked for ID before in my life but then I turned 18 in 1937."

Diane was on her my home from a check-up with her doctor when she went to buy a bottle of whisky for her son from the One Stop Shop in Harlow

Did Neil Armstrong really land on moon?? If you say yes....Then read it THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE Issue 1 : Since the Moon has only one light source, the Sun, the shadows must be in line. But in this cases, it looks as if there are multiple light sources in moon, which is not possible Issue 2: The foreground of many images of the astronauts on the Moon are filled in with light, while the shadows remain absolutely black, again proving that there are multiple light sources. Issue 3 : There are no stars in the background from pictures taken on the Moon. Issue 4 :  In some images, a huge light source can be seen reflected in the astronaut's visors. This has to be a very bright, nearby source. There is no possibility of external light source in moon. Issue 5: How could NASA take TV images of the LM ascending on Apollo 15, 16, and 17 if there was no one on the Lunar surface to man the camera? Issue 6  : There can't be any pictures taken on the Moon because the

Akshat, a baby boy over the age of one, registered his name in the Guinness world records for having a total of 34 fingers and toes. He has set the record for having the highest number of fingers and toes and hails from the Bareilly district in Uttar Pradesh. Amrita Saxena, the mother of the child, said it was difficult for her to believe that her son broke the world record, until a family friend convinced her. "He (family friend) read on the internet about the baby born in China with 31 fingers. Then he said that my boy has broken the record of having 34 fingers. At first, I was not convinced at all. It was hard to believe that my son has broken the record. But later, he along with my husband and my younger sister registered the data in the Internet. Then I was asked to submit certain documents after which his name was in the Guinness World Records," added Saxena. Doctors attending to the child informed the mediapersons that it was a rare phenomenon and diagnosed it

Military commanders in Misurata rebuffed demands for a post-mortem on the body of Col Muammar Gaddafi on Saturday as reports said that tribal relatives said the corpse should be handed over for ritual burial. Misurata fighters who captured Gaddafi refuse to accept any blame for the dictator's death and have rejected international demands for a medical report into the cause of death. "There will be no post-mortem today, nor any day," Misurata military council spokesman Fathi al-Bashaagha said. "No one is going to open up his body." The statement came amid prolonged confusion over how rebel officials intended to deal with the corpse. Al-Rai television, a Syria-based outfit that has functioned as the mouthpiece of Col Gaddafi's loyalists, said relatives wanted the body to be handed over. "We call on the UN, the Organisation of the Islamic Conference and Amnesty International to force the [National] Transitional Council to hand over the martyrs' bodies
