I’m sure I’m not alone in having been approached by kids outside off licences requesting that I go in and buy them alcohol, I was even once offered certain favours by a particularly chavvy girl in Headingley a couple of years back. Without fail I have always refused, being a highly moralistic type – and I was ready to do so again today when a kid, probably no older than 14 came up to me outside the off licence about twenty minutes ago, until he asked me to go into the shop and buy him a pint of milk.
Apart from thinking it very odd, it also got me wondering whether government health campaigns were working, and why he couldn’t go in and buy it himself. Obviously I still didn’t go in and get it for him, but that’s because I’m a mean and miserable git!
