I really enjoyed the thread started by @openthefrontdoorthe other week which was a different take on those boring threads where someone posted a photo.

So I thought I’d start one myself. Not sure I’ll be quite as eloquent but I’ll give it my best shot to drop some random facts

  1. Growing up, my dad was clean shaven but for a most fantastic bushy moustache which he took great pride in.

  2. Our 1 tv in the house through most of my early years was rented from Radio Rentals and had a wire on the tv remote connecting it.

  3. My most treasured Christmas present ever was a Tiny Tears doll that could cry and wet herself

The house price has made me think you are younger than me, I thought we were roughly the same age, born in the mid sixties. Now I think you might have been born in the early 70s, so I think you are around 55.

The house for £37000 is making me think you are you younger than I first thought. I was thinking 56 but now 52.

The house was bought just before I was born

That makes you younger than I thought you might be. I'd go for 57. I think it might have been a big house!
