Some bouncers have been demanding people hand over their smartphones so they can check Facebook accounts, Newsbeat has been told.

It’s claimed that it is to make sure the person is who they say they are and isn’t using fake identification.

  1. This is totally bogus since FB won’t let you have an account unless you tell it you are over 18. I had to lie about my cat’s age to get her an account (it’s OK, she’s 19 now). I told them I was over 90, which is why I get a lot of ads for oldies homes and incontinence products. Fascinating.

  2. The oldest I’ve ever claimed to be on a website is 102, that was about ten years ago, same place I claimed to have been born in the Antarctic, does anyone take these trawls for information seriously?
