26 January 2007: No Card No Sale

A former Lord Mayor was asked to prove he was over 18 when he tried to buy a bottle of sherry in a supermarket.

Jack Archer said he was shocked and flattered when asked the question by staff at Morrisons supermarket in York.

Mr Archer said he did not think he looked his age but said staff must have known he was not under 18.

Mr Archer is 87.
