A mother received an unexpected boost of confidence when she was asked for her ID at her local supermarket, despite being 50 years old.
Abbi Franklin, from Guildford, Surrey, has struggled to come to terms with her age since celebrating her birthday in March.
However, a routine errand turned into a surprising boost when a cashier at a Co-op convenience store insisted on showing him ID before allowing him to buy tobacco.
The mother of two, whose daughters are 17 and 23, had to leave the store to get her purse, which she had left with her youngest daughter in the car.
Luckily, she had her ID in her purse, although she admitted it’s not something she usually carries with her.
Abbi Franklin, from Guildford, Surrey, received an unexpected boost of confidence after being asked for her ID at her local supermarket, despite being 50 years old.
Despite facing health problems that prevent her from working, Abbi is very proud of her appearance.
She maintains a glamorous look with eyelash extensions, blonde highlights, multiple ear piercings, beauty treatments and trendy outfits.
Loved ones and strangers alike often comment on his youthful appearance, although they usually estimate him to be in his early 30s.
The incident sparked a week of celebration for Abbi, who shared her joy with friends and family.
The mother said: “It was great, the best day of my life! I’ve been jumping up and down all week about it.”
She added: “I kept telling him, ‘You’re kidding.’ And he kept saying, ‘No, I need to see ID.'”
Reflecting on the serendipity of the moment, Abbi said: “It was really luck. I don’t usually carry my ID with me.”
This comes after an Australian woman recently asked people to guess her age and was shocked when most of the answers were between 50 and 60 years old.

Emily Jane told FEMAIL that everyone is “so used to seeing faces with filters, Photoshop and cosmetic procedures that they have lost touch with reality”.
Emily, from Sydney, has just turned 36. She was “shocked” by all the “wild” responses her video received from viewers both young and old.
“I’m 57 and I think you’re my age, maybe a few years younger,” one woman guessed on Emily’s TikTok.
“You’re over 40,” said another. “It’s your gray hair, your skin, the fine lines around your eyes and the wrinkles between your eyebrows.”
Emily said she stopped dyeing her hair during lockdown, adding: “I’ve embraced my grey hair. Women want to feel comfortable being themselves. We’re all tired of trying to be 25 all the time,” Emily said.
