I think you have to be over 55 to buy the Mail on Sunday.

I work at Sainsburys and when a newspaper such as the mail or the times comes through my till a prompt comes up on the screen asking us whether or not the person is over 16, it does the same for alcohol (18) and cigarettes (16), we have no control over the system. As for the prawns they went through before the prompt would have appeared on the screen, I think thats just a bit pedantic really!

I work for sainsburys. They do that incase there is an age restricted product with the paper, like a dvd.Some other papers do that aswell, it's really annoying to have the prompts on the screen all the time!
