i was in maidstone again today... weirdest thing ever happened to me: i wanted to buy a monster energy drink. the till person asks for my id - 'you have to be sixteen to buy an energy drink - and our manager is in today, so he's checking on us'. okay, id card out. 'i'm from switzerland!!' - she takes a look at it - 'thank you and i am so sorry'... okay :D hahaha in switzerland you can buy beer and wine with sixteen, in england energy drinks - uuuuh!
