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... :)

Good game OP! I was going to guess 1982 - I could tell you were of a similar vintage to me but slightly older because of the reference to Sean Maguire and not having dedicated ICT lessons. So I was close but not quite right!

Annasgirl · 02/12/2019 19:19

I'd say you were born around 1978 - just because of the Boyzone reference. They were way behind my time!

Likethebattle · 02/12/2019 19:20

1980, I was born in 1979 and did get some IT lessons but only had to pay tuition fees in my 2nd year of college.

Aragog · 02/12/2019 19:25

I did IT and then computer science at secondary school and I an 46y - so thing the IT is a red herring, as the other stuff makes OP seem younger than I am.

ChaiNashta · 02/12/2019 19:25

I was born in 1981 but did have IT as a subject (in fact there was a dedicated IT suite in our state school) and my council paid my uni tuition fees!

commanderdalgliesh · 02/12/2019 19:26

I was the first year of tuition fees and born in 1980. I think you are the same.

LoonyLunaLoo · 02/12/2019 19:26

I was going to say you’re a few years older than me so 1980, I was close!
