loppylugs 8,429 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Called at a motel once to check prices. After giving me the numbers the gal said, We have seniors rates too." I was mortified, I was only in my early forties. Got back in the car and wife said, "Wot's up wi yo." Or words to that effect. When I told her she thought it funny. I didn't. Edited to add:. Wotsup wi a cardigan anyway? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 I walk the hills in "Shirt-sleeves". If it gets cold I put on my hill coat. I can't walk far in a coat without breaking into a sweat - even in winter! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Bu**er growing old: I went to pick SWMBO up from the hairdressers & the young girl thought I was in my mid 40's, (I draw my pension next year) made my day & I'm still walking on air. People have always under estimated my age, I used to get chucked out of pubs when I was in my late 20's. When I was riding my Honda 50 all legal at 16 the cops would pull me as they thought I was 12; I got funny looks waiting to take my driving test at the test centre when I was 17; when I took the ADI advanced driving & instructing test's the chief examiner kept calling me "young man" I was 34, same on check test's. People seem to think I'm younger as I'm 5'2", that put the kybosh on being a copper, but I'd have been sacked for not doing motorists for minor offences... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
