When I was in my late teens, there was a magazine called 'Over 21' and I honestly thought that the newsagent would not sell it to me, bearing in mind this was in the 70s and the age of majority was 21. I bought the mag a couple of days after my 21st birthday and felt very grown up.
Yeah right, an age of innocence, but I still feel stupid about it and have never told anyone before!
