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... :)

Well I was 1981 but did do IT... 1979/80?

This has reminded me there was a smoking room at one of my first jobs, wow.

1982

Fuzzy if op was 44 she wouldn't have paid tuition fees, unless she went to uni late. I think 1998 was first year they came in. I was born in '77 and didn't pay (in fact got paid!).

InglouriousBasterd · 02/12/2019 18:04

Ooooo I’m 35 and I did have IT on my timetable (the rest is very close to home!!) so for that I’m saying two years older - 37, born in 1981

Unicornhamster · 02/12/2019 18:05

I think 1984

HigherFurtherFasterBaby · 02/12/2019 18:06

I’m saying 84. I’m 86.

Morporkia · 02/12/2019 18:06

I used to love Tammy Girl.

5) I have no IT qualifications, including GCSEs. I never had a dedicated 'IT' subject on my school timetable.

We had 'computer studies' and I've just turned 50. We had two IBMs and three BBC computers.

Alsohuman · 02/12/2019 18:08

1979/80. So you’re 39 or 40.

ALongHardWinter · 02/12/2019 18:08

I'd say 1979.

Courtney555 · 02/12/2019 18:08

I'm another born in 82, but had I.T. lessons at school so marginally before that.

Ariadnepersephonecloud · 02/12/2019 18:08

I think you were born between 1978 and 1981, fees for Uni started the year after I went 😁
