Only if you look underage. Otherwise they have no reason to ask.

I was pleasantly surprised to be asked for ID in asda last month, first time in two decades easily. Had a mask on and my greying beard flowing out of the bottom of it, yet the checkout assistant told me she can't serve me if I don't take my mask off. Apparently the area between chin and nose is essential for telling someone's age!

Luckily that shouldn't be an issue in pubs unless they invent some kind of drinking mask..hmmm..

Bookies were never that keen to do it, unless you had a big win. I know it has changed a bit recently.

17th Jan 2015 6/6 away faves won in the PL - they all decided they wanted to know their customer that evening and took 2 weeks to be paid out as they must have lost millions.

I opened an account in my Dad's name to get free bets of about £50. I put one of them on Jordan Speith to win the Open which he did. I tried to withdraw the cash which was over £200 and the bookmaker then wanted verification. I sent it, but this was not enough, they wanted a photo of my Dad holding his Driving Licence as absolute proof. We took it with my old fella having the biggest cheesiest grin on his face, he was about 84 at the time. £50 each for me and my Dad and tickets to the theatre for Mrs H and my mum, cheers Ladbrokes.
 
Don’t worry we will all be back in lockdown soon with these inconsiderate bastards gathering all together outside, looks like they believe it’s all over and a free for all shameful

are we just going to be surveilled wherever we go now? Can't even go to the pub without movements being tracked.

Whatever happened to freedom and democracy. It's either safe to open up or it isn't. Anything else is a con.

We’ve been the most surveillance country in the world since the 1990s. And for a good decade or more, our phones track our every move. Doesn’t matter what apps you have given permission to, only if you turn your phone off can MI5 not track you if they wanted to.

If they aren't interested, they wouldn't make you sign in.

So they can contact you if there are any reports of cases in that establishment so that you have to isolate if you were there at that time.

Lots of people still live with or work with people with health conditions who haven’t had the vaccine yet who would be under threat of severe illness or death from COVID.
