A liquor shop in Essex, England, refused to sell alcohol to a woman of 92 because she couldn't prove she was over 18, the Daily Mirror reported.

Great-grandmother Diane Taylor initially thought the shop assistant was complimenting her in asking for her ID but quickly realized she was being serious.

A shop spokesman apologized but said staff cannot sell alcohol without seeing proof of age.

Ms. Taylor said: "I am 101% with them for checking young people but carrying it to that length is just ridiculous." （點擊《每日鏡報》查看原文）

92歲“未成年”老嫗買酒被拒

???????據英國《每日鏡報》報道，因一名92歲的老婦無法證明她年逾18，英國埃塞克斯的一家酒屋拒絕向其出售酒品。

???????老奶奶戴安娜·泰勒開始以為，店員問她要身份證明是贊美她年輕，但很快意識到她是認真的。

???????店方發言人對此表示歉意，但指出店員看不到年齡證明就不能賣酒。

???????泰勒女士則表示：“他們查年輕人，我101%支持，但扯得這樣離譜也太荒唐了。”
