When spoons are outlawed, only outlaws will have spoons
Shopper asked for proof of age to buy Asda teaspoons
A shopper was left baffled after she went to Asda to stock up on picnic equipment and was asked for proof of age to buy a set of teaspoons.
The shop assistant reportedly informed the customer that someone had once been murdered with a teaspoon, and therefore age identification was now required.
That the woman had also bought plates and picnic ware at the Halifax branch in West Yorkshire did not appear to reassure the shop assistant as to her innocent intentions.
