To ask you to guess my age from 5 facts..

[Coldemort]

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 too was first year to have to pay tuition fees. Was born 1980.

So was going to go for 80/81 for OP.

Babdoc -- thinking born about 1956.

1979

@babdoc I think you were born in 1956

1983

1976

1975

1974

Ooh this is fun. How about guessing my age?!

My first record was 'Puppy Love' by Donny Osmond.
In primary school I could go home for lunch.
I remember when we went from old money to new.
My first Saturday job paid £1 an hour.
We had no central heating only one coal fire to heat the whole house.

Anyone care to guess my vintage?
1) I remember walking home from primary school through the notorious London smogs, pre Clean Air Act.
2) I remember Kennedy’s assassination when I was a child
3) My first boy band crush was one of the Monkees
4)When I first qualified as a doctor, the hospital cleaner earned more per hour than I did for working at night.
5) My first house - a detached 4 bed in rural Scotland- cost just £29,000.

Think I'm of a similar vintage, though born post-Kennedy assassination and 1st proper crush was Donny Osmond (although when a toddler I apparently used to kiss the television screen when Liberace was on ).

Your 4th clue really rang a bell though. Did you find you were asked (on Friday morning) "When does your shift end?" and on replying "Monday evening" were you told how lucky you were: "Wish I got paid for sleeping"?
I found it happened a lot.

(Yes, children, that's what it was like in the olden days )

1973

Apart from the fact that I didn't have a Saturday job, all your clues could apply to me.
Sooo..... 39?

1959? So about 60.

I'd go for early 80s - I was born in 75 and didn't pay tuition fees. I did have IT lessons at school though and there was an IT department at secondary school - I did a module in Desk Top Publishing!

39 or 60....🤔

@doadeer 1985 ?

1975

1973

@Lamarchellin, nobody born in 1980 can remember decimalisation!

@Alsohuman you're right! I'm 56!

1953

Sorry @TheQueensCousin.

1980, think you are the same age as me!
