Topic: Sainsburys Chiswick

My 15 year old has just been refused purchase of a copy of the Sunday Telegraph by our local Sainsburys.  On calling the store I was told this is company policy as it may contain "offensive material" and you need to show ID to prove you are over 16.  Just wondered if anyone else had come across this before as it is a first on me .  The manageress likened it to the sale of alcohol and paracetemol and the restriction as being in his interest.  His school library stocks it so I guess they can't think it is that offensive and he can always read a copy there tomorrow!  The restriction applies to all newspapers in case anyone thinks there is a political bias here.  Waitrose sold him a copy fine but has the world gone mad??
