yeh i've been goin out since i was about 16 i think and you usally know the places that dont id etc etc altho those places that didnt then for em haven toughened up now its really weird how it all changes, but yeh umm a good trick i used is make jokes with the bouncers better chance of gettin in and then another joke on your way out and hoepfully they'll remember you.

it is guttin when you get turned down but its an experience. i got a fake id and i tell you thats the most challenging, just keeping up the charade like gettin served in the offy woo coz one place would quiz me like hell on my fake id, it was stress but worth it.

but seriously if your not up for it, just wait, your 17 now so ure 18 in les than a yr, youve waited this long a little more will be fine. I'm 18 now and don't go out all the time when everyone else is, i'm not shunned for it, you feel bad for about a day when they talk about it but after that it fades lol.

I show my provisional license, and none of the bouncers know the right date of birth anyway and always let me in :rolleyes:

Hmph, speak for yourself! I guess the bouncers around here are more intelligent, meh.

16.5 hours till I'm not underage anymore anyway. Yay!!!

It depends on the club though, I'm 17 and there are the second rate clubs in some random places in London were they don't even bother IDing, but there are some clubs in central London, the first class ones where the only way I've been able to get in is when there is an event and the host or manager literally has to escort me in, because there is no way I'll get in otherwise.

Although I did get into Silver the other week without getting ID'd but I lied and said I was on the TOP MODEL guestlist.

I'd suggest leaving it until you're 18. When I was 17/18 I knew a lot of 15 year olds who got in clubs. This was before the Challenge 21 thing though. Everyone gets asked for IDs now in clubs. My 27 year old friend got asked recently. I wouldn't bother risking it. You'll only be disapointed if you don't get in.

'If you look under 21, we'll ask you to prove you're over 18'

I'm 15 years old and successfully went clubbing last night with a friend of a friends friemds ID. Says I'm 23..... we tried the hardest club to get into first and bang I was in... the bouncer literally scanned it (picture comes up big on the screen with your age in the corner) looked and said go through..... I looked behind at my 18yo friend absolutely gobsmacked. I'm ****img 15 and got in as a 23'year old 😂 Once your in you just need to get a drink, chill and then drink some more... and more and just dance your socks off.
