A mom was over-the-moon to be asked for ID when she went to buy tobacco — despite being 50.
Mom-of-two Abbi Franklin had been struggling with her age after turning 50 in March.
But things changed when she popped into a Co-op convenience store near her home in Guilford, England last week.
The cashier insisted Abbi show him ID before he would allow her to pay for the tobacco she wanted.
Abbi — whose daughters are aged 17 and 23 — had to leave the store to collect her handbag she’d left with her youngest.
She said: “It was great — my best day ever!
“I’ve been bouncing all week because of this.
“I just kept saying ‘you’re joking.’
“And he kept going ‘no, I need to see ID.’
“It was lucky really — I don’t usually take my ID out with me.”
Abbi, who can’t work due to ill health, said people often say she looks young but usually older than 35.
