That is very true Adam, I am indeed 18. But surly i'm not the baby of the group!

Jesse's at Uni but I think is older than me. Can't think of anyone else.

56 last week. You can wish me a belated happy birthday if you like.
I havn't slowed down much, though.
|
Good grief! Cannot believe that PG's link is almost a year and a half old now. Guess that makes us all about a year and a half older. Still think it's inappropriate for me to divulge my age, though! ;)

Thanks NW. At last I have a way of (still) feeling young!

How many responses are needed before you can calculate the average?

mean, median or mode?
I was 41 yesterday, front runner for the mode.

Well for my $0.02 worth I qualify for HMG's munificence in August (after filling in countless forms to get MY money back from 42 years of toil and graft, mind you). However I believe age is all in the mind and my lovely partner of 6 years who is less than half my age tells me you're as old as the woman you feel....or something.
Therefore I claim immunity from anno domini, which is instantly affirmed by inserting my creaking joints into my '69 Mustang and slipping in a Beach Boys 4-track. Alas neither my physician Dr Elizabeth Gomez shares this point of view and neither do Blue Cross when they send me my annual medicare renewal notice.
|
I have just proved my own point. The Beach Boys are on an 8 track cartridge of course not a 4 track. I wonder why it is that I can remember the number plate without fail of every vehicle I have owned back through the mists of time, but not where I put my glasses 3 minutes ago. I think it's called "having a 'senior moment'".
|
|

56. Good to know that there are plenty who are senior to me.
1948 was an excellent year for port.

21, but 18 when I signed up.

Wow. What a great thread! Some of these ages are surprising though!
Young at heart though eh?

So, what is the average age of a 'Back Roomer'? My guess, having seen the spread of individual ages, is that it will be pretty much the same as the average age of the adult population of the UK. No surprise there, then!

As soon as I've swallowed all my medicines and tablets, found out exactly where I am, had some All-Bran, taken the dog for a walk (it is Wednesday isn't it?), managed to wake the other half up so she can enjoy what's left of the day and check that I didn't leave the front door open all night yet again, I'll work it out......
Now what was the question again?

You want my mental age? That varies between 13 and 20 depending on how many double expresso's I have consumed and If I have taken my Ritalyn tablet.
Old as the woman you feel? Jeez how depressing.

Well, I have just had my 67th birthday and feel like a young man!
Still better wait on that, I suppose.

This could be a good candidate for a backroom poll?

I have the mind of a 25 year old.
I have the body of a 45 year old.
And I have had both for reespectively 32 and 22 years:-)
How's that for longevity? :-)

My average age is 26.5 but I'm pretty happy with my current age of 53.

It's Pologirls fault, she got me all confused making me have two similar threads open at the same time!
If I'm confused that easily now, god help me later in life.

It's L'escargot to you (not l'escargot) and it's English that you don't study, not english. Sheez! I studied engineering as well, but I don't use that as an excuse for sloppy grammar!

Mmmm. A point which would have been well made were it not for the inappropriate use of a comma and sentence construction of dubious validity.

When you get past 50 everything hurts.
And if it doesn't hurt, it doesn't work.

77 and still going fast (in some odd places nowadays, away from anti-motoring things).
|
OK, I worked it all out for you. There were 79 respondants (inc self) giving a range of 18 to 77 years old. This produced an average backroom age of 41 years and 9 months with a standard deviation of 13 years and 9 months.
So the "average" backroomer is aged between 28 and 55 years old.
|
Well I'm 64 and 6 months, so thank goodness I don't fall under the horrible label of "average". I would prefer to think the category was "outstanding".
Any deviations I may have I hope are better than "standard".
All TIC ;+)

Ooo, 54 so just average, typical

Whilst I'm here 41 (42 next month)
Beans Means Cash.

It'll arrive quick enough, rest assured.

I thank you also Tomo. The thought of being the oldest old git on the BR was v. depressing. Have cut down on gym sessions lately to two (same nr. as swim now) but this only due to shortage of time available. Still have problem with believing I had time to go to work. Finished at 65. Last ten could not have been better
