No this isn't going to be one of those threads where I post a photograph and ask you to say how old you think I look.

I just thought for a bit of fun for anyone who like me has too much time on their hands, I would post a few facts about myself and see if you can guess my age.

I will post odd random facts over the next day, then tell you my age tomorrow.

This is a new user name, in case I have mentioned my age in previous post.

Fact 1) My mother used to wear dresses made of crimplene.

Fact 2) My father used to ride a bike and wore cycle clips to stop his trousets from getting caught in the cycle chain.

no, WW1. My parents were born in 1908 and 1912 and I was born in 1957.

Mine were born in1904 DF and 1908 DM . I’m 80, they were 42 and 38. I’m also an only child and I had an only child cousin almost the same age, with parents older than mine. We were unusual having no siblings. I thought you were quite a bit younger than me due to your getting the vote at 18 and Jackie being your fav mag. Lots of your posts really resonate, thanks for the memories.
