50s and 60s perhaps. They go all uptight and weird and develop this huge chip on their shoulders and just seem so...angry with the world. I'm seeing it more and more...

Why ask me? I'm only 59. Have done well in my career, children are grown and making their own way, have lots of confidence, am financially secure, can't get pregnant... You were saying...

not bin on your pics malificence - never looks at pics. But, is it true about that middle aged couple morphing into each other thing? I saw a couple today out shopping - mid 50s maybe. Their faces were almost identical. And they were dressed almost identically, all in grey or khaki colours. Please tell me I am not imagining this phenomena (sp)?

maurice, it is one of the highlights of reaching 50 - amorphous blobbery. Matching elasticated shell suits or khaki frocks lend a frisson to shopping, you know.
and Jesus sandals for the bunions.
