Scots law: age of consent (and age you can enlist) is 16, drivers license is 17, drinking and voting is 18. And this is Scotland, so the age of criminal responsibility is 12. (Until recently, it was eight: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/7916561.stm).

It always grates on my nerves when someone that young, seventeen, is referred to as a "man".
I suppose teenagers enjoy more freedom in Europe, maybe it's more appropriate there.
