In the UK, what forms of ID are accepted in a pub/bar?

Question

I'm turning 18 in a couple of weeks, and I was wondering what ID is accepted? I don't have a passport of a drivers licence because simply put we can't afford them. I've heard college and uni cards are no longer accepted because they vary and its hard for them to decide whether they are real or fakes.

What sort of ID is available to me? Whats cheap and fast to get ahold of?

Thanks.

JD wetherspoon pubs have application forms for the citizen card - which they and others accept.  See web site below.

If any 'id' is cheap and very easy to get hold of its likely to be abused and mistrusted and therfore worthless
