h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sorry, I only have the Green Veltlin on stock tonight.

Beowulf, you're only 16, do you have a parent with you? Else I don't think you're allowed in the bar.

Oh he can sit in the lounge with me ..... I'll make sure he sticks to water or

OOOOOK; if the honourable judge gives her word.

What harm could come to him here.

You tell me.

Can't think of anything to be honest.

I'm not 16(sorry about the post lag my computer was geting hot so I put it to sleep for awhile)

You're not.

I was when I started on h2g2 but that was I while back. Though come to think of it I don't think I posted my age then.

Ahhh Bel will have used our magic snowglobe to find that information then

You're not even 16?

I don't think you're allowed in the lounge even - or is he?

When I went for a holiday in the UK, my son annd his friend (both 13 at the time) weren't even allowed to order food in the pub. They came back and told us that my friend or I had to go in to order it.

Ha, lots of simposts. And I was only guessing, Beowulf.

Ahhhh but they were allowed in - right.


Although not allowed in unless accompanied by an adult.

I'm young but older than 16.

It's all good then, Beowulf.

They weren't allowed in alone, but we didn't know that. I mean, we wanted to have our meal outside, it was nice weather, and they had put up tables for that purpose. You'd think they could have just taken the order for pizzy, but no.

It must have been a very fussy pub Bel - when we were in London last year the kids had no problem ordering coke without us - we were sitting at the tables outside.

Mayb that was because the staff was only about 16 herself.
Or maybe it was because it was in Bristol - that's not exactly cosmopolitan there.

Ahhh a 16 year old can only wait tables - not fill any orders herself - that's the law. When I was 16 I worked in a big complex and wasn't even allowed behind the bar to wash glasses - but carried trayloads of drink (decanted by older people) down to customers.

But she took the order from me.

Oh whatever, it was an experience.
