I’m 42 but look so young I even get IDed buying Night Nurse – I don’t care, it’s a real compliment

YOU have to be over 16 in the UK to buy Night Nurse.

So when 42-year-old Clare Smith was asked for ID when buying the medicine, she couldn’t believe it.

Clare took to TikTok to recount the situation, telling her followers: “Just been on a walk and I went via Boots because I needed to get some Night Nurse.

“Well, I got the Night Nurse and she said, ‘How old are you please?’ I went, ‘I’m 42’.

“And she said, ‘Oh please just take it as a compliment – I thought you were about 18 or under, I’m so sorry’.”

Clare told the shop assistant that she’s “definitely quite a few years older than 18”, but thanked her for the remark.

“I get it all the time, all the time. But it’s a good thing I guess,” she smiled.

She wrote over the video: “I will take it as a compliment lol.”

In the comments section, people were quick to agree that Clare looks significantly younger than her 42 years.

“Would never have said you were 42 mrs !! Looking good x x x” one person wrote.

While another added: “Holy s**t you’re 42? I thought maybe 30.”

“You don’t look 42 lovely. But what a lovely compliment,” someone else wrote.

And another agreed, writing: “42 no way! thought you was in your late twentys.”

“Great compliment and she is right you certainly don’t look your age lovely,” another comment read.
