FAKE ID LESSONS IN RYDE

Trading Standards officers are reminding licensees how not to sell banned goods to children. 

They’re holding a dedicated seminar at the Ryde Castle Hotel, between 10am and midday today.  It follows “disappointment” that eight outlets (including two major UK retailers), broke the law by selling tobacco to a child, as part of a test purchase exercise.  Sales assistants will be taught how to spot fake id and how alcohol affects St Mary’s Accident & Emergency Department.
