Part 2 of our best motivational posters series. Read part 1 here.























I was reading this article on the BBC site about various statistics about young people. As usual the BBC used it to help their war on drinkers and in doing so they missed the most interesting statistics.

As you can see the country with the highest rate of bullying is also the country which enjoys school the most leading too a few different conclusions:
1. Turkey also has the highest number of bullies and they all report being happy.
2. Kids who get bullied also enjoy it in Turkey.
3. Turkish bullies target kids in the Czech Republic (or New Zealand).
4. The report is bullshit.
I was at Tesco checkout last night behind a couple who looked like they were doing their weekly shop. They had all the normal products including a couple of boxes of Fosters. The guy behind the till asked for his ID and he presented it without a problem, he then asked for her ID which she didn't have.
The checkout assistant then explained that he couldn't serve them alcohol unless they both had ID - as you can imagine a big WTF moment followed before the checkout supervisor clarified that unless they both had ID they would not be served, just in case he was buying for a minor.
I can imagine in this case that he simply ditched the girl in the car and went back to someone else on the checkout however as you can imagine this has huge ramifications. What if you were in a supermarket with a baby and wanted to buy beer - does this mean that instantly you are buying it for the baby and won't be served? If I stand next to someone under 18 in the queue they could have asked me to buy it for them too.
Does anyone work in a supermarket and can clarify any of this?
