As we can’t see each other ...

I intend to state the eldest

Marydoll: Thank you! Bags I No.1 Why not delegate? I'll be happy to help and collate data and I know all about spreadsheets!
Glad your migraine has cleared up!

I am 71 , and there is the Data Protection Act which covers as to further information

63 but a wee nervous 6 year old inside .

Mick, I've done GDPR training, so need to worry.
It's only usernames and ages on the list. By giving their ages on this public forum, posters have given consent. There is no identifiable personal info here, no photos, no real names and no addresses.
If anyone wishes to withdraw, it's just a matter of saying so.

I'm afraid, what started out as a bit of light hearted fun, is becoming a bit too complicated and serious.

Rufus, I have just noticed your kind offer, thank you.

It's lack of time, too many medical appointments and being under the weather, which is slowing me down, but I will get there! I love a challenge.

Can you please remind me of how young you are and I will put you at the top of the list! .

It’s a pity GNHQ can’t do a spreadsheet / graph of all members - many, many people never post, but just read the posts. Some people post, but not on this thread. The spreadsheet you are kindly working on Marydoll will only reflect (obviously), those who choose to give their age on this thread.

I've done GDPR training, so need to worry
Noway! I don't think any of us are worry-guts!

I love a challenge
That's comforting to know Marydoll! You can thank me again, if you like, cos I imagine I've presented you with a few in the past, but as you say, it's all good fun!
Btw; 92½ and still counting!. Just back from the dentist today; she confirmed I've no baby teeth left even though I'm in my 2nd childhood! There was no charge so I can still afford to smile!
Sainte, or whatever!

Oh Marydoll you are a gem for even attempting this task! Who’d have thought this thread would have generated so many replies.

Oops - just realised I’m cluttering up your data box!

You made me laugh with ^may make an absolute fool of myself and either have to change my username or even leave GN^?

59 60 in January still working and will be till 66. Hopefully!

How did I miss this thread till now?
When it started I was 73 but meanwhile I have had another birthday. DH is a year younger but seems 10 years older.

To be honest I don’t want to be 21 again, too many decisions and difficulties ahead. At least life is less complicated for me now, though I dread getting old. I am not old now, just a bit stiff and achey sometimes. Also I find I need breathing space between events nowadays.
Another one whose her mother when I look in the mirror. She made it to 92.

....one who sees her mother......

I am 66.

I am married to a man ten years younger than me who is super fit (he's taken a kayak out for the day today) whereas I have ongoing health problems. However, I've always been determined to not 'give in' and because of this I do far too much really.

I just want to second what Urmston has said.

You are a gem for doing this. ?

I am 76. We have just measured our heights and I am 5"2 minus half an inch lost through the years. I weigh 8 stone 6 pounds. DH has discovered that he is 2 inches shorter than he used to be.

Urmstongran -No, not rude at all.

It does sound a bit like a stealth survey, though I'm sure it's not.

I have decided to abandon collating the ages, which I initially decided to do on a foolish whim.
There is nothing untoward about it, but I never expected some posters to be suspicious of my motives, despite many willingly posting their ages.

I just like working with numbers, perhaps I'm just a a little naïve, thinking that it would continue be taken in a light hearted manner, as the OP intended.

What I will say is that Rufus seems to be the elder statesmen of GN.

Oh Marydoll that’s such a shame. 99.9% of us were looking forward to it!

It’s sad really but I can understand your decision to revoke.

Thank you anyway for all the time and trouble you’ll have already dedicated to it - especially at this busy time of year.

?

Unbelievable, Marydoll! I shall go on being 79 for the time being and I’m not st all suspicious of your motives. What on earth could happen? People needn’t post their age if they’re suspicions don’t allow it, and if they had read your posts carefully they would have stopped adding their weight, height, shoe size, etc. Thanks for giving it a go anyway. I think, however, Bijou could be older than Rufus. Sorry Rufus.

I'm 50 but ever so young at heart!

Nothing will stop me from climbing trees with children if they want me to join in. I'll stop when my joints can't take it any longer! Stay young for as long as your body permits.

Age is just a number. It's how you feel inside that matters. xx

I'm afraid Bellanonna is correct in saying that Bijou is older than Rufus. I seem to remember that she posted in early summer that she was 96 years sold - and was feeling rather sad for the youngsters of 70 or so who were feeling their age due to infirmity.

Rufus my mother is heading towards 91 and also has good Mancunian genes! Which area of M/C are you from?

Oh, so sorry this has turned into a negative endeavor for Marydoll. I actually just searched for this thread to see if someone in particular had posted her age. Was just curious to see if it was close to mine since we are both vegetarians. I loved reading the ages and tiny bios. I think it's nice to have even a small picture of a person as a whole rather than to just see them as remainer/leaver, estranged or not, etc. Do some of you feel the same?

Bijou could be older than Rufus. Sorry Rufus
Bellanonna; no need to be sorry at all! In fact, I'm rather glad someone else had ascended to the throne and I will swear my undying allegiance.
It's like a GN. version of Royalty, for example, when Kate and Meghan produce again all the family will get bumped down a notch.! Same with GN.
I was the eldest of 3 Siblings and copped the blame for all dropped crockery, broken windows etc. even though it wasn't always me! "You should know better at your age!" still rings in my ears! So being top "dog" isn't always what it's cracked up to be.!
So Good Luck Bijou! Rule fair but firm with a rod of iron!
By your Liege;
Cheers

Same as the number of books in The Bible or in Bingo parlance Clickety Click 66

Which area of M/C are you from?
Granny; Ardwick! Born in Ancoats Hospital, or was that "Infirmary? " Then lived in Baden St, (I think that's what it was called). Can't be more Mancunian than that1 Not quite within the sounds and smells of Belle Vue Zoo but near enough for Uncle Percy to take us there after hours, to see the rats finishing off the tigers' supper! Awesome!
Bseen back a few times courtesy of Dr.Google, but of course it looks totally different now after being flattened by German landmines and then rebuilt. We were moved out to a new house in Wythenshawe, as part of slum clearance about 1932 , maybe a bit earlier, then Dad got a job in Slough just before the war. Quite a bold move for a Mancunian to move "darn Sarth"
Then we went even betterer moving to OZ!
