In Parliament yesterday Jo Swinson described herself as a "girly swot". This really took me aback as I always see her as a bullying, slightly desperate student rep. and most certainly not as a girly swot.

I remember once being described by a stranger as a "wee Scottish granny", this was not the image I had of myself at the time and it wasn't how I thought others saw me.

How do you think others see you ?

Allotmentlil, it did occurred to me that by using the term ‘ young’ that you were inferring a less complimentary attribute?

the written word is no indicator of age

Too true! "Age" is simply a measure of how many years the world has had to put up with you! grin grin
