I've just heard one of my female colleagues discussing someone who has been taken sick and she described him as "knocking on a bit" Another colleague responded asking how old he is and the other replied "43" I'll be 43 in 7 years and I'd hate to be thought of as some sought of over the hill dinosaur What do you consider as the representative age of an "old timer"?

Double posting is the first sign of advancing years

70. Its a very traditional age. Three-score-and-ten.

Anyone more than a couple of years older than me it's all relative you know.

At 43 you'd be ancient to some 15yos and barely out of nappies to a 90yo.

Quit worrying about it.
