Malkit Singh Sangha who runs a convenience store in Manor Road Washington, was fined £1,000 and ordered to pay £100 costs after pleading guilty to selling alcohol to an under 18 year old in March 2013.
Sangha also failed to comply with a required Challenge 25 scheme which is a nationwide scheme which requires staff to ask anyone who looks under 25 to show photo identification. Sangha claimed he had been distracted at the time of the sale which was to a volunteer accompanied by under cover police.
District judge, Roger Elsey, says his punishment should act as a deterrent to other retailers.

It sometimes took a while but there was always one who would be willing to buy your beer and smokes if you gave a sob story about your mam being bad on the setteeJools wrote:We used to get people to buy our beer and fags

Aye just wait long enough and you could get as much cider as you wanted and as many fags. I did notice more men would be willing to help but many women did too. The police never bothered us.
