What age are you

whelan2

Just wondering what age profile we have on here

White Clover

My advice as always is vote early and vote often!

whelan2

Haven't had a poll on here in a good few years

Was the last one about the pikes? Others had some obscure names for them.

Just as I expected....i would guess the general non farming boards user would also fit this age profile....

Surely a poll about pikes would be better suited to the hunting or fishing section!?

Good few older farmers, as in over 40🙃

Moving up in the age brackets. Mid life crisis due soon. Might buy a car with a radio.

I was surprised when I was 38 that someone called me middle aged...... then realised that if I got another 38 I'd be lucky.

Yet 38 doesn't sound middle aged

58 surprised I've lasted this long

Talking to a friend of mine about the farm infrastructure a couple of years ago, he came out with the comment "You're not getting any younger you know", came as a bit of wake up. I wasn't that far off the age you mention.

Probably for someone who identifies as a different age than they actually are.

It's for those awkward ones who say you haven't got a certain option in the poll. Not that there'd be anyone awkward on here....

White Clover

@Bass Reeves must not have voted yet. There is no vote in the over 70 category yet!

Or he's lying about his age, 21 again

Or as my mother used tell us when we were small and asking her age, She'd say 21plus !

Wrangler is the only one over 70 here and he has not voted yet. I just hanging on to one age group and when I move from that I will not be over 70 either.

The average person who reaches sixty will live to 84 and beyond. Its a frightening static. In the 1970 the average lifespan was 70 years of age, it has climbed significantly since then. Males were significantly behind females but that gap has closed.

It is considered that if things evolve as they are doing children born now will live well beyond 100 years of age.

Any way you are as young as you feel, wife is only in here late thirties ( only joking). 😂😂😂

I have voted and I am in the bracket ''61 -70''....... I'd have to be 71 to be ''over 70''

Technically are not in your 71st year 😆

Some would want you to believe farming was in decline with oul men, not looking at the poll.

Lots of youth there yet.
