Isn't that sort of thing regarded as normal in places like Africa, India, southern American states and Suffolk ?

Oh No! I've fallen into the upper half of the polled responses (admittedly, only just  ;D ) and see the horizon on sensible sailing times approaching. I beckon retirement wholeheartedly  it's a hsame it is still more than 20 years away though  ;)

Hi all,
A bit off topic, but I can beat that.
My last (long term) partner was four years older than my son. She was nineteen, I was forty four.

My wife is seventeen years younger than me but her step father is only two years older than me.

The only real problem with my much younger partner, which eventually caused us to split. Was the fact that I was always right.
Sadly? life's experiences teach us a lot. I'd make a good health and safety officer.

           The old   'watch out you will fall'    comes to mind.

My younger ex always hated it when It turned out that I was right. For some reason she always thought being younger meant she was smarter. Sigh will they never learn?
