Well it is Challenge 25 after all.
I got asked for proof of age to take advantage of the cheap coffee and biscuits at the Salcombe Over 60s club, earlier this year.

My daughter used to used to embarrass me when she would come home with her school friends.
'How old is my dad? You wouldn't think he was nearly 50 would you?' Nearly 20 years ago mind you. So I did look younger than my years. Not so sure about that now though.

BTW it doesn't do to fall asleep on the sofa with my grand daughters about.

A coffee shop near me gives a discount to over 65s. I'm disappointed they give me the discount without asking

<----- I was 22 in that pic. I looked about 15.
Funnily enough I never once got refused service in a pub.

It could be worse. Me and two work colleagues went to a local cafe for lunch and all got the daily special, but one was charged £2 less - he'd been charged the OAP rate by the waitress without any prompting. At the time he was 52
Needless to say it's never been mentioned since...
People think I am in my "40's", ok, I accept that they might mean late forties but I am 56 so that's fine.....I work with a childhood schoolmate and nobody believes we are the same age, he looks a lot older. I put it a lot down to genes, my mum is a very young looking 80 & my sister looks nowhere near 55. But the another reason is the "illusion" of youth provided by the gym and anybody can obtain that.

It’s a continuing point of hilarity in our office, that of the 2 of us in the managerial roles, my boss is continually thought to be older than me....he’s 35 and I’m 41.
The best was in a meeting, 5 years ago, when he mentioned he had a big birthday coming up and one of the attendees assumed it was his 40th.
Of course I don’t bring this up too much......

I was still getting childs fare on the buses in my late 20s. If I tried to pay full fare they would give me the extra back.

They were Players Navy Cut, for which you have to be 85.
