Done one of these before and according to the age it came up with I should have died about the same time as my great great grandmother! Not doing it again - too, too depressing!

Yes, I agree, folks, it was fun to do the test. We always sit there doggedly doing these quizzes that Anne Robinson and Philip Schofield host too. Trouble is, I usually fall asleep way before the end of the show - so that probably shows my real age more than last night's score! LOL Just goes to show how little 'entertainment' there is on TV on Saturday nights now! CB >|<

Nope Dee that didn't work either, got right to the end and it said there is a technical fault!!! Oh I give up I didnt want to know the answer anyway!!!

Thanks Dee going to give it a go now - well at least you came out younger, thats good!!!

Hi Vera I finally managed to complete it Clicked on 'How to join in' on the left hand side of the page and went from there. When I tried clicking on the 'take the test' on the front page it kept freezing. (bit like this site really!!!) I am 3.2 years younger than my real age according to the test. I tend to agree with CB that the results cannot really be relied on, but it was fun to do. Dee x

I agree with you CB the questions are not in-depth enough I think the whole thing should just be taken as a bit of fun!!

According to the TV survey, I'm 5 months younger than my real age, mainly due to long-standing health problems. However, I don't believe the results can be particularly accurate, given the 'one-size-fits-all' nature of many of the questions. For instance, BMI calculations take no account of a person's bone-structure or musculature. When I first read about BMI calculations of this type some years back, Linford Christie was quoted as someone whose BMI would appear too high, using that method, and who could say he wasn't healthy? Similarly, waist size varies owing to body build, not height or weight. I wouldn't place too much emphasis on the results. CB >|<

It was probably over use last night that was the problem but today its different. There is no arrow to scroll down the page so once you have completed half of page 2 you are unable to go any further and its b!!!!!! annoying!!

Oh thanks Dee, was beginning to feel it was just me that was having problems! If you manage to complete it can you let me know so that I can have a go as fed up with trying now.

Vera I am getting the same problem. Dee x

Hi its me again!! Has anyone else had problems doing the test on line, I have still not managed to do one, gave up trying last night! Just been back on web site and now I cant scroll down the page so get to page 2 and can go no further! Oh how frustrating!!!

I think it was Wales came out healthiest, with Northern Ireland least healthy. Took the paper and pencil test and came out 3yrs 6 months younger, can't be bad. Val

I fell asleep in the middle of the programme (says it all!) - which area came out healthiest? Bet it was the affluent South East! Lily

Thats great Carol, I think it must have something to do with all the chatting we do on here. As someone said earlier, on here we're ageless. Vivienne Sleep well Susie, I'll be around sometime tomorrow but I'm hoping to go to Bill Harrisons in Wedmore for some healing if I can motivate myself in the morning. Night, night Vivienne

Vivienne, It's fine I know what you mean honey, as long as I know I have not upset you I can now go to bed and have a good sleep...Good night and sweetdreams....Speak tomorrow if you are around.. Love Susie xx P*ss MySelf Laughing ......that is what it stood for..

Hey Susie now you're making me feel guilty. I must bring myself to use these acronyms you all use. I was only pulling your leg. Somehow I just don't feel comfortable using them, I feel false but I don't want you to misunderstand me. Vivienne

Thanks Vivienne, will try again tomorrow. CarolB have you managed to get your results or is just me it didnt like?

Vivienne, I don't want you to be upset because of me....I am feeling bad now I have upset you cheer up honey and accept my apology I will not do it on your threads again I shall leave it too you..I Promise. Lots Of Love Susie xx

That's great Natalie, how did he take it? What a pain Vera, I get so frustrated when things like that happen. Good luck next try. Vivienne Told you I was slow. Just read your replies Vera & Susie, thanks for the encouragement.

Oh Vivienne, dont give up!! It is really annoying though when someone gets there before you, but I really did appreciate you trying!!
