Pretty much, unless there is some other piece of legislation to say otherwise, but I imagine many "gambeling halls" are "members only".

Things I remember from my childhood:

I was legally permitted to have sex from the age of 16.

The local chemist wouldn't sell me contraceptive protection, however, until I was 18.

I wasn't allowed to buy cigarettes for a post coital smoke until I was 18 (local pub had a notice pasted to the ciggie machine), nor could I vote on whether or not I should be able to have sex, buy contraception or get ciggies until I was 18.

My local pub tolerated me on their premises, just about, from the age of 17 onwards, threatening to bar me (no result of my actions, I assure you) every six months or so.

Now I'm 24, and can do pretty much what I like.

Except buy cider in a Tesco off licence.

They still card me.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

Yeah, they're bastids for it. I looked about 60 with a beard and all and they asked me for id... wouldn't take driving license either, w4nk0rs...

I find the best way to buy drink in Tescos, without, passport or age card, is to slap a credit card on the counter along with your 6 cans of Scrumpy Jack, they never ask if you pay by Mr. Flexible.

I couldn't believe at the age of 23 and looking 40 that ppl still carded me ...

"You have to be over 18 to own a credit card. Just show them that."

I've had one since I was 16, when enquiring at the time I was told that anyone under 18 could have one who either had a guarantor, or a sufficient income and "good history" with the bank. *shrug*
