Board demographics - age

**TaviaRS** · 12-08-2004, 10:43

Sparked by a conversation on another thread, I'd be interested to know what the demographics of the site are, hence this poll.

What age group do you fit into? Get the feeling having looked at other boards that on the whole the members on here are older than most other boards. I know Colin could probably pull it out from the membership database, but he's got enough on his plate at the moment.

devonutopia · 12-08-2004, 10:50

demographic? Big word.

**TaviaRS** · 12-08-2004, 10:51

Cough, I'm posh me

***Neo_VR*** · 12-08-2004, 10:52

Can we split the 21-30 into 2 groups.. and possibly 31-40 too, should greatly aid accuracy

***ColinD*** · 12-08-2004, 10:55

Nooooooooo, damit I'm still as young as a 21 yr old for a few more days anyway

Can do if you like.

redbaron · 12-08-2004, 10:56

lol col you are a year out..

***DGW*** · 12-08-2004, 11:30

Where do I vote?

redbaron · 12-08-2004, 11:31

***DGW*** · 12-08-2004, 11:32

Nope, If I look at it now as I'm in my 30th year at present*...31st in a few weeks...that way I've only been 30 for a few minutes. Or I could say I'm only 29, 30 in a few weeks, but thats worse than already being 30.

*Afterall when your born your in your 1st year logic.

Trouble is demography was a significant part of my economics degree...

In light of Denis' plight can we have a "pensionable age" section for our most senior members on the board?

Tavia4x4 · 12-08-2004, 12:05

Am 28 in 2 weeks... 30 scares me!

That's what I was like.

Wonder if you'll have a surprise party like I did where everyone finds out you've been lying about your age.

It's great being over 30 and childish.

My Dad's turned 51 this year, and he's still childish a lot of the time.....Good news for my future then.........

Tavia4x4 · 12-08-2004, 12:51

My dad was 60 this year.... he's still mentally younger than me!!

Yep completely agree

Its also amazing that you get all worried about getting to 30 but once its all over and done with you stop noticing birthdays / age .... or is that just early onset of senility

Chavyboy · 12-08-2004, 12:51

Couldn't give 2 hoots to be honest

philc · 12-08-2004, 12:52

Well, I'm 45, and Mrs C still tells me to act my age, not my shoe size. And I've got size 12 feet!

Phil

***DGW*** · 12-08-2004, 12:53

Still no over 50s...

And 'pensionable age', as suggested by one of our time-warp teenagers, can start well before 50 for some, eg I could have retired from the RAF at 38 with a pension.

Is what the early onset of senility?

C.J. · 12-08-2004, 13:04

Well I've sorted that out now Denis.

I'm 53! but I'm glad to say, still have a youthful outlook on life in general...apart from my opinions on the minority of scrotes that wind all of us up that is

Put it all down to our motor club, my interests, having 2 youngish nippers and of course BRISKODA!

Pipe and slippers

Forget it! Chuck em in the coffin when I expire if you want.....UNUSED
