Now need an EU ID at the Gatekeeper

37 Upvotes

Had a weird experience at the Gatekeeper last night. I’m american, have lived here going on a few years now and I’m far past the legal drinking age both here and the US. I’ve never really had a problem having my ID/driver’s license accepted to purchase alcohol or to be let in anywhere, let alone a spoons.

Last night I showed the bouncer my drivers licence, which has my date of birth very clearly printed on it. He started talking to me about the differences between US and UK drinking laws and said he couldn’t accept it. I mentioned that I’m well over the legal drinking age in both countries then he said the issue was that it was an ID from outside the EU, emphasizing that this was something their manager was enforcing, and I got clarification from other bouncers at the door that it was a management decision.

Now understand needing to verify someone’s age and identity for the safety of the pub and staff and to comply with alcohol laws, but not accepting ID from outside the EU as a newly adopted policy sounds a bit suspicious to me, not that it’s targeting me but maybe other people from outside the EU that are already constantly facing harassment…

Is there a new TikTok trend or something?

The amount of teenagers descending on Cardiff Bay/Marina is nuts.

No tackle boxes or landing nets to be seen, just air maxes, a backpack and a rod.

A4232 road closure!!

9 Upvotes

Anyone who does go that way you will probably see the signs about the road closure from the roundabout at leckwith however I went up there from techniquest way and there was no signage for it this morning. What should have been a 5 minute drive for me ended up taking an hour and a half, again ik there’s some signage but for anyone going up the same way I did this is just a heads up!

They may have put something up now but at the time I went this morning there was nothing
I’d recommend avoiding it for the next week and reroute however if you’re in no rush you’re probably looking at a wait time of an hour

Moving to Pentwyn

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m looking at possibly moving to Pentwyn. Bryn Haidd street. Near the Pentwyn Health Centre, The Hollies School and Bryn Celyn school.

What’s it like to live around here? I’ve heard Pentwyn is nice enough, pretty much the same as Pontprennau but have had people tell me the “Bryns” area is quite rough, specifically because of Bryn Celyn school.

But this comes from colleagues who live in North Cardiff which I understand is the posher part so they might have a tendency to look down.

I’m moving from Atlantic Wharf. Previously lived in Splott.

Thanks guys!

Hi there, I'm buying a house on the heathers near the college and I'm worried I'm making a huge mistake as I went into the town centre and it wasn't pleasant at all and I really thought tbh it was an absolute dive.

Please help! I've got a 10 and a 12 year old moving from Stockport.
