Dad livid after Asda staff allow his seven-year-old son to buy a £2 Scratchcard

Staff at an Asda supermarket have come under fire from a parent after they reportedly sold a £2 Scratchcard to his seven-year-old son - despite him being below the legal age limit.

James Fletcher-Retallick has shared his "shock" after his son Ronnie was able to make the purchase with his pocket money, during a visit to a store in Folkestone, Kent, on August 20.

The current minimum age to buy National Lottery Scratchcards in the UK is 18, making Ronnie nine years younger than legally required.
