Age distribution of forum posters

[Yellow Hoods]

On one of the political threads, someone suggested it would be interesting to know the age distribution of posters on here.

For comparison, ONS figures for the UK in 2011 as follows:

Aged under 20 = 23.9% (no point breaking the distribution down lower than this for Yellows Forum)
20-29 = 13.6%
30-39 = 13.1%
40-49 = 14.6%
50-59 = 12.2%
60-69 = 10.8%
Aged 70 or over = 11.8%

My birth age may be 46, but I self identify as a sprightly 27 year old!!!!

 

[Sarge]

Im 62 in years (63 in a few months) .... similarly to @Scotchegg , In my mind (what there is of it remaining! ) I too 'see' myself in my mid 20s

 

[AbbeyOx]

i’m the other way round - 47 but feel more like 87 with all my aches and pains. and i thought gardeners were meant to be healthy with all the fresh air and exercise

I can empathise with you @AbbeyOx ... I have days like that too , when physical aches, pains and degenerations take their toll

 

[Manorlounger]

What did I come on here for?

 

[ljs]

56

 

[SteMerritt]

3% at the moment under 30... Perhaps they are all at school ? Either that or we are just all old gits on here...

The Zimmer Army.

It's good to come on here in order to feel slightly younger.. ...

 

[Morris Oxford]

In my mind I’m still 26, in my body I sometimes feel 86!

The reality is that I’m in between the two.

 

[chuckbert]

I’m 49.65 but chose not to round up. Surprised the the mode seems to be 50s thus far. Although judging from general elections, referenda etc it looks like youngsters don’t even know how to vote.

I had my over 60's check up with the GP just recently. "Any problems" he asked, the usual, I replied. Touch of arthritis, enlarged prostrate, a few aches and pains, however, there is one thing that troubles me. "Oh yes, what's that" My sex drive, it's too high. "really? how can it be too high?"


It's all in my head.

 

[Yellowlab]

I’m 57 and and happy enough with forums but am not in the slightest bit interested in “social media” which is where I imagine a lot of the younger Yellows interact!

 

[RussianYellow]

OMG, it looks like time goes wrong way at Russia. 23 though.

 

[Tomox]

I'm 23 and started posting on the old forum before the proboards format was used (Can't remember what it was called)

Vividly remember suggesting the Batman theme tune as a song for Damian Batt and getting completely shot down

Can you look back and understand why you were shot down ?

Complete clean bill of health and taking no regular medication,until diagnosed with the big C 2 months ago.
I’m 69 next week and still positive( in more ways than one ?)
Still feel like 35, now without the responsibility of being the main bread winner.
My wife and family are always saying grow up.
I always answer why ?

Good luck with your health.

Agreed. Keep your head up and battle on.

 

[mariokempes]

Good Luck and fairplay to you a positive outlook is a big part of the fight

 

[MarkG]

The interesting poll result on here was the brexit one which ended up 52:48 just like the real one.

I’ve no idea how representative oxford fans answering that poll are of wider society. Whether by age or earnings or political persuasion.

 

[Peterdev]

64 and collecting pension next year...no I am not it’s the year after, the government changed it

 

[Paul Cannell]

Waste of time really

Good work.

 

[Manorlounger]

Good work.

Lot better than the giant jigsaw puzzle and less competition than the ducks in the fountain routine.

Now then, who's up for another round of "who am I, and why am I here?"
