AGE is a tricky subject.. A polite question

[GabbyLoggon]

I know a lot of us are sensitive about our age, so I will ask a polite question of the REGULARS on Mumsnet.....

Are you over or under 40 years of age?

Me...well over. cheers "Gabby"

[BaroqinAroundTheChristmasTree]

• ok it's pretty uncontroversial subject........
  

but why in Politics??

(I'm 31 - nearly 32 btw)

[GabbyLoggon]

Barogin....good lord, almost a baby.

A lot of women find age tricky. (you can lose your job at the BBC (allegedly)

Pensions is political...so is almost everything...HMG like dabbling in our lives. cheers Gabby

[GabbyLoggon]

From what I have seen of MN posters. I would guess the main age group was 25 to 55

[bibbitybobbityhat]

8 years over.

I am one of the seniors, I think.

[throckenholt]

I am 44 - would probably rather be less but since there is nothing I can do about it I rarely think about it (to the extent I have forgotten how old I am and have to work it out !).

[GrimmaTheNome]

I've just turned 50.

We've already deduced the OP dates from the Victorian age on another thread.

[MassiveKnob]

46

[Besom]

Under (by the skin of my teeth)

[LovePinkBitsOfMyHorse]

I am going to be 40 very soon, end of Jan.

[Hassled]

44. I'm seldom conscious of the fact I'm one of the oldies on MN - although I've registered recently that there are some posters who are younger than my older DCs, and that's a bit alarming.

[coatgate]

51

[MassiveKnob]

Gabby - you have not mentioned your age????

[GrimmaTheNome]

Well, we deduced from this that he and his DW were talking to their lawyer before 1868, so he must surely have been born sometime prior to 1848 - therefore well over 160

[Ewe]

Under your age brackets, just, at 23.

[ByTheSea]

47

[GabbyLoggon]

Massive...Older than any mentioned here...by a lot(but the brain still works)

Throck...my parents used to forget their age(I would work it out for them)

EWE 23...wow, it takes me back many years

[GentleOtter]

50 plus VAT.

[slug]

45

Gentle Otter, is that the old VAT or the new rate?

[GooseFatRoasties]

32

[OldLadyKnowsNothing]

48

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Oooooh, snap OLKN. I wonder who is the more senior out of us two? (clue: my birthday is in September).

[GentleOtter]

both, slug.

[DurhamDurham]

I was 40 last October, enjoying it so far! Have never been embarrassed about my age and hope I never am.

[OldLadyKnowsNothing]

You're a whippersnapper bibbity, I'm 49 in May.

[smug]

[GrimmaTheNome]

And your hardly an 'OldLady', OldLady! Still under 50, unlike all us cheerful Sagalouts
