    Maybe they thought the kids were her siblings.

    That's the scary thing :)

    I've met Paul's wife, and I would not ask her for ID, but the only reason for that is that I am so acclimatised to Filipinos, when I met Ana I thought she was 20 to 22 years old, she was 32 :) now I do the mental arithmetic whenever I meet a Filipino male or female :)

    My pal Segundo is in his late 40s but still looks like a 30 year old.

    The vast majority here in the UK will get your age wrong :) you just need to get used to it, it is a backhanded compliment when the locals think you are too young :)

    Last word about this, let's start paying the checkout girls and everyone else in those kind of jobs at least £20 pound an hour and how about we encourage that idea all around the planet, I mean this seriously, how about a bit of equalisation of remuneration across the whole of society and then we can really talk about the fairness and stature of "low grade work".

    Never thought about siblings but a valid point indeed.

    As Jim says, those with a bit of acclimatisation of filipino people wouldn't make the mistake. Asawa is 5'2" in height and slight in stature so i think that contributes to the age thing when being visually analysed by shop assistants here in the UK.

    I'm still 20 but I'm sure I won't be asked for ID coz I look 30 or something, I never thought that's of any advantage after all. :eek:

    Don't be so certain about that.

    Used to be that people needed to look 18, then 21, and now 25, who knows what it will be next week.

    I don't think we'll have to rush out any time soon to buy a fake ID :)

    You see a lot of men in the Philippines who look like they have never even shaved :)
