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 had IT lessons on my school timetable and I was born in 1981 so I would say 1977

FreeStar · 03/12/2019 20:01

I'd say 1983

Namechangerextraordinaire1 · 03/12/2019 20:05

I'm 1986 and everything sounds about right except not having IT lessons

  1. Sounds a lot like my sister. So you’re fast approaching 40 but not there yet.

Late 30’s...37/38?

lboogy · 03/12/2019 20:15

1977-1979

Sammi38 · 03/12/2019 20:21

I was born in 81 and your statements resonate with me, so I’m going to say you were born in 81 and are 38.

RitaMills · 03/12/2019 20:24

I’d say 1980? A tad older than me (83).

Loubella4 · 03/12/2019 20:29

I’m going with 1975

MissBridgetJones · 03/12/2019 20:29
