So this one was going round the pub the other night and I thought it was a lot of fun. And actually quite thought provoking. So... can you guess my age from these 5 facts.

  1. I legally bought cigarettes at 16... and had them in the smoking room at work.
  2. my first concert was a Smash hits tour headlining Sean Maguire and Boyzone
  3. I paid tuition fees at university
  4. my favourite outfit as a pre-teen was from tammy girl
  5. I have no IT qualifications, including GCSEs. I never had a dedicated 'IT' subject on my school timetable.

So what year was I born???

And play along... :)

I never bought cigarettes but do remember the fog of smoke that came out of the staffroom door at school.

The first concert I went to was (I think) at the Royal,Festival Hall .. it was Holst.

My favourite outfit as a preteen was made by my Grandma.

I didn’t go to university as I had no family financial support from the age of 17.

I have a Computer Studies O’Level.

How old am I?

  1. I think your smash hits tour was about 1996 and your mum took you when you were about 8. So I think you’re 31.
