AGE is a tricky subject.. A polite question

[GabbyLoggon]

I know a lot of us are sensitive about our age, so I will ask a polite question of the REGULARS on Mumsnet.....

Are you over or under 40 years of age?

Me...well over. cheers "Gabby"

• ok it's pretty uncontroversial subject........

but why in Politics??

(I'm 31 - nearly 32 btw)

Barogin....good lord, almost a baby.

A lot of women find age tricky. (you can lose your job at the BBC (allegedly)

Pensions is political...so is almost everything...HMG like dabbling in our lives. cheers Gabby

From what I have seen of MN posters. I would guess the main age group was 25 to 55

8 years over.

I am one of the seniors, I think.

I am 44 - would probably rather be less but since there is nothing I can do about it I rarely think about it (to the extent I have forgotten how old I am and have to work it out !).

I've just turned 50.

We've already deduced the OP dates from the Victorian age on another thread.

46

Under (by the skin of my teeth)

I am going to be 40 very soon, end of Jan.

44. I'm seldom conscious of the fact I'm one of the oldies on MN - although I've registered recently that there are some posters who are younger than my older DCs, and that's a bit alarming.

51

Gabby - you have not mentioned your age????

Well, we deduced from this that he and his DW were talking to their lawyer before 1868, so he must surely have been born sometime prior to 1848 - therefore well over 160

Under your age brackets, just, at 23.

47

Massive...Older than any mentioned here...by a lot(but the brain still works)

Throck...my parents used to forget their age(I would work it out for them)

EWE 23...wow, it takes me back many years

50 plus VAT.

45

Gentle Otter, is that the old VAT or the new rate?

32

48

Oooooh, snap OLKN. I wonder who is the more senior out of us two? (clue: my birthday is in September).

both, slug.

I was 40 last October, enjoying it so far! Have never been embarrassed about my age and hope I never am.

You're a whippersnapper bibbity, I'm 49 in May.

And your hardly an 'OldLady', OldLady! Still under 50, unlike all us cheerful Sagalouts
