True, but its not that common. But yeah i still think if it isn't phot idea with your DOB on then they shouldn't have to accept it. I'm pretty sure my SHU card doesn't have my DOB on, hence why i rarely use it as ID.

Yes, but some NUS cards do have photo ID and DOB. Mine does. But yes, as proven, what's on the card isn't always true. That's the problem.

I'd just feel a bit cheated if I didn't need a passport or driving license to pay that amount of money just for ID. I suppose the citizens card is a good idea, but I'd never heard of that until now. Worth checking out, even if it is just to replace taking an important document around in your bag.

The NUS is useless.

It is! Ever been to a Scottish student town...? A good number of seventeen year olds :biggrin:

bleeper: Yeah, people fake IDs. But NUS is really really easy to fake. I also know of four seventeen year olds at my uni, and I'm sure that there are many more than that. Like I said, it's even more common in Scottish unis. It's not like you can't go to uni before 18. Lots of people skip a year, take exams early, etc.

it is silly that its not a proof of age card but yeah, its only proof you are a student. it is annoying like the time 4 of my friends and i went to threshers and only 3 of us were buying stuff but our other friends were in the shop with us and they wanted I.D from all of us. my friend who was 20 didnt have her id but the rest of us did, but she had her nus/uni id card but they would serve us. was v.annoying, especially as she wasnt even buying any. ok rant over lol
