Hmm us Ladies were just partaking in a bit of a chin wag refs .age & Hair colour .when one gets .White or grey hair it tends to mean one is of the older variety ..we have a café in our village & if I go in they say( its buy one get one free Cuppa today) cause I have White Hair . :-P so behave Allan you were in the land of nod .we kept your thread going :-D :-D ;-)

Please bear in mind that that photo was taken in 1986. About ten years later after shaving my head for a Charity event I decided to keep it shaven.

I have let my hair grow once or twice, but now it is so thin that it looks like a comb-over. :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh!! I see :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
Thank you, Allan and Jemima.

Happy now? :-D :-D :-D

When he was younger Maggie

Put the photo up as your avatar again Allan :-D

What? Allan did? Really? But Jeremy isn't bald :-S :-D :-D

He looked a bit like Mr Selfridge (Jeremy Piven) on the telly, Maggie :-D :-D :-D :-D

I did have a beard, Maggie, but that was many years ago. It was dark brown in colour.

I suspect that if I was to grow one today it would be of the 'salt and pepper' variety :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Did you ever have a beard? If so, was it ginger/gingerish?

Now I don't know whether to be chuffed or miffed that this Thread has gone off topic and become a discussion on hair colours :-| ;-) :-D :-D :-D

I f I had any, I'd tear my hair out! :-D :-D :-D :-D

My Mam had champagne blonde hair when she was older, and often used to be asked what colour her hairdresser used. Nothing, she replied, it's natural. She was a natural fiery auburn, and that's the colour it went, instead of grey.
I too have champagne blonde hair now, though I have to have mine dyed - I wasn't lucky enough to have her lovely flame red hair :-D

When I was young I always looked younger than I was. I paid half-fare on buses, without any questions being asked, until after I left school - aged 18. :-)

I also went grey very early, like my mother, and didn't fancy trying to dye it. My sister, a whole 3 years younger, didn't go greyso early.

When I was still the right side of 40, my 16 year old son and I went to visit her in Canada. One day she was introducing us to some neighbours, and one asked if I was her mother!! :-( :-( Son of course thought this was hilarious.

I know of - and have been to - a couple in Brighton.
It's where my daughter took me for a 'treat' when she was a student there :-)

One price 'Eat as much as you like' - any of these establishments around yet?

Back to the topic. I went to a restaurant last Thursday where there were two prices for some meals. The smaller portion for pensioners at £10 and a larger portion for hungry adults at £15. No aggro when ordering simply asked for the pensioners meal. No means testing. No justification of decision. Ample food with enough change for small tip for the server. Win win.

A clock wastes no time.
