    haha takes me back a couple of months this :)

    Now I've got ID the bastards never ask me... eeesh

    Anyways...body language is a big givaway. Looking down, scared, etc and they know.
    So head up, eye contact and look like you go every week.

    Too much make up is worse than too little.
    Experiment with your hair and ask your mum, sister(s)?, friends what they think and you really need to see.

    Also wearing too dressy clothes is a giveaway for the underagers.

    So if your going in in a group try and position yourself in the middle.
    Good luck and have fun

    woo so glad I don't have to worry about this any more :razz: ! hehe

    I think confidence helps so when you're walking in walk head up and that. Wear something like jeans, heels and a nice top.

    If you're with a big group of people that are older you should be okay, I usually found that I would get ID'ed if I was with people my age or 18/19. So if there's any one about 30-ish hang on to them.

    Also helps if you've had a few before you try for confidence.

    Good luck and have fun !

    There's a girl at my work who's underage and whenever we go out clubbing on a work night out, she just borrows my mates sisters ID (my mate works there too). They both have blonde hair and the bouncers never really pay much attention to the face, just the date.

    So borrow someone elses!!!

    Aye, borrow an ID. I remember when we were like, 15 and going clubbing. We used to see people on TV going out wearing black trousers, a shirt, and shiny black shoes so we used to copy it. It wasn't until we were older and going to clubs with similarly aged people that we realised noone actually wears that shit when they go out, beside neds/chavs trying to look 'smart' and underagers trying to look older.

    Ha ha! I used to dread this. If you do borrow an id, obviously try to remember the birthday on it. The funny thing is that they often don't know what year a 18 year old would have been born so as long as you say it with confidence they will believe you.

    also would this whole thing look stupid with a red clutch bag?

    Yes it would look absolutely awful and they would instantly spot that you were underage if you had a clutch bag!
