Aagh! not far from jumping age categories

I'll use current age though.

Currently alone, or "winning" as I like to call it, my age category

Needs two columns. Physically 58 (I know I know, many body parts "replace" themselves several times over a lifetime, so you end up like the "woodman's axe"). Mental age? Well.....

"Reg"

PS> Blast. Not 58. What I meant was 46 of course, as in "We're not one of those firms who think a chap's past it at 46 goodbye Reggie".

PPS> Thinking about it, all those who ticked the first four categories haven't a clue what all these Reggie, 46, Sunshine Desserts ramblings are all about so I'll get me coat..

2 reasons
-18 to 25 sounded like a sensible gap, so i just added the difference to all the others
-I'm 32 (yes, i know, i look like I'm in me 40s before anyone - Ian - says anything), so I fall in the slightly youthful category

I am firmly in one of the first 4 categories but I didn't get to where I am today by not knowing about sunshine desserts.

Do Werther's Originals sponsor events at all? Just asking!

"I didn't get where I am today...". Excellent, that's the spirit.

"Still feeling a bit chesty Joan?" Etc etc etc....

It's beginning to look like a normal bell curve.

I'm just glad I'm no longer one of the bell ends....

Needing to work a bit harder to draw in the kids though - what about offering some free sweets (or fags or whatever it is kids like these days)?

Quite sad to have just jumped up to a more popular age bracket

I can't work this at all - how do you vote??
Guess that makes me senile regardless of category...

Hang on. Feel stupid now.

Suddenly i feel like the baby of the group!

I find it funny how those of a certain category make jokes about the old but are still old enough for me to make jokes about them....circle of life i suppose

Still...for a 21 year old i bet anything ive got the longest repeat prescription out of all of you!
(And about 60 years of cynicism and sarcasm in me)

I can see why you live in Wales then!

I fit nicely into my niche age having the spd sandals, the beard (currently) and more than one item of Carradice luggage.

Age is only a problem when you use it as an excuse

103 votes so far then. I like the tasteful blue colour for the category I'm stuck in. Bit worried why we're red for the age group though? Cos we're scary? Cos we're bonkers? Cos we're about to cost the state loads of money in our old age? All of those?

There's 1238 potential votes out there. Interesting to look at the "members" bit sorted into number of posts (yes I have got too much time on my hands). 50 pages of it, and you have to get back to page 35 before any of those members have posted at all. Wind back a bit further and double-figures posts finally appear on page 17, and triples not until page 7 of the 50. I suppose the top three pages or so are all the desperate cases that live on BBB

. Twas ever thus on forums I guess.

"Geographic spread" (or even middle-aged spread!!) might be an interesting poll as well. With the subtext of "would you rather be living in Bearbonesland instead"....
