Sorry my son, but you can't buy The Sun!

A 16-year-old youth was not allowed to buy a copy of The Sun from a supermarket yesterday. Kevin Ingham from Poole, Dorset, was asked by a cashier at Asda to prove his age when he tried to purchase a copy of Britain's best-selling daily paper. But he had no ID to prove he was old enough, so he was turned away because the paper contained a crime DVD - an episode of TV's Prime Suspect - which is rated 15. That's the rule, said an Asda spokesman, adding that the decision has "nothing to do with the paper's saucy content." (Via The Sun: News)
